Creamy sauce

To the question: what can add completely different shades of taste to the same food and, in addition, increase the nutritional value of the finished dish, making it more savory and juicy, many culinary experts and just lovers of eating will answer almost in one voice - sauce. Yes, it is the usual sauce. More precisely, it is prepared from ordinary products, and to taste the finished dish is unusual, special. So, one of the most popular and easy to prepare is rightfully considered cream sauce.

It is based on natural animal cream, due to which creamy sauce has a soft, light consistency and a delicate creamy taste. The finished product is so tasty that the ability to bite a couple of spoons without anything, just like that, is unlikely to be able to miss out. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't abuse creamy sauce - it's very greasy.

In addition to cream, the main products for making butter sauce are only two components - butter and wheat flour. During the cooking process, the flour, before being added to the sauce, is fried in a clean dry pan alone or with butter added. When the mass acquires a golden hue and a characteristic aroma, cream is introduced. The calorie content of the cream sauce is about 468 kcal per hundred grams.

The tender and mild flavour of the creamy sauce makes it an almost indispensable supplement for numerous meats, fish and vegetables. Combining this sauce with pasta and pasta is very popular. And just like that, putting a spoon of creamy dressing on a slice of fresh bread, you can get a good version of the sandwich.

By the way, there are a lot of varieties of butter sauce - starting with the most elementary flour sauce, which is brewed in butter and is the basis for preparing other sauces, and ending with rather complex ones, which include a large amount of ingredients.

By adding certain components to the cream sauce recipe, you can vary its taste as you like. So, for example, it is easy to get a cheese, garlic, sour or sharp taste of the finished dish. Garlic and cheese are optional ingredients, that is, not mandatory, you can do without them. However, the piquancy and sharpness they give make the taste of the cream sauce richer and richer.

Unfortunately, the calorie content of the cream sauce is quite high, so nutritionists advise not to indulge themselves with this gentle delicacy too often. You can add a spoon or other favorite dressing without consequences for the figure no more than once or twice a week.
