Vegetables in white sauce



Many times we do not feel like making an elaborate dinner and yet want to eat something healthy.  One of those evenings I cooked this medley of vegetables in a white sauce but without any cheese.  Most of the time people like to bake this dish but I did not have the time and the patience for that.  First time I had this dish at my sister’s home.  She cooked it with very little white flour and I loved the taste of it.  It was light and healthy.
I have used cauliflower, broccoli and corn but you may add mushrooms or any other vegetables you prefer.  It is not spicy as I have used just salt and black pepper  but the end result was very tasty and I enjoyed with crackers.





Ingredients

1cup Broccoli (cut into small pieces), 1 cup cauliflower (cut into small pieces), 1 cup of uncooked sweet corn kernels, 1 medium onion(chopped finely), 1 tbsp of white flour, 1tsp of butter, 1 ½ cup of skimmed milk, salt and black pepper to taste, 1 ½ tsp of cooking oil

Method:

 Wash broccoli, cauliflower and corn kernels well and soak them in water.   Sauté onion in a cooking oil till they turn pink.  Now drain the water of the vegetables in a colander and add to the sautéed onion.  Lower the flame and cover the lid.  Stir the vegetables occasionally.  When the turn tender turn off the flame.
In another pan, roast the white flour on a very slow flame. After thirty seconds add butter and mix it well.  Add milk and stir it well so that no lumps are formed. When it gets well blended add to the vegetable mix.  Add salt and pepper. 
Enjoy with your favorite crackers or bread.
