What is a Roux (besides one of those intimidating-sounding cooking terms that make you think twice about the recipe you're making)? It’s simple really. A roux is a mixture of fat (or liquid) and flour cooked on the stove and stirred constantly until it becomes a thick paste. It’s used as a base for dozens of different types of sauces. If you’ve ever eaten gravy, macaroni and cheese, or gumbo, you've already eaten a roux-based dish! Ready to give it a try? I'm sharing the details on the blog.
