Thick , Rich Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Roux/White Sauce
I'm staying away from wheat, but wanted a nice white sauce. All the others I have seen were thin or too sweet. This one is rich, creamy, and has a great flavor. Replaces white sauce in casseroles and tetrazzinis. Can be used as a base for cream of mushroom soup, too. Add spices you want to create the flavor you need. All spices listed are optional--I use this as the sauce for my chicken and rice bake.

DIRECTIONS
- Note: The rice flour you usually find is rather gritty (Arrowhead Mills, etc), so it is best to get your rice flour at an Asian market, where you can find powdered rice flour--it has the same feel as cornstarch.
- In a small bowl, mix flours and potato starch with a fork until mixed together.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt margarine with oil over medium heat.
- Whisk flour mixture into oil/butter mixture until it forms a paste.
- Whisk in chicken stock and rice milk.
- Add spices and Worcestershire.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until thick.
- If too thick, add more rice milk.
- If too thin, mix 1 tsp of (the garbanzo flour thickens better, but has a stronger taste) more flour with 1 T of cold water, and then stir into the sauce.
- Repeat if necessary.
