Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Here's Sue's recipe from the file. You can narrow it down since this makes a large amount. It will make your pot pie delicious. Donna Roux Ingredients 3/4 cup oil (Canola or Vegetable) 1 cup all purpose white flour Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pot and add oil. Once oil is heated, slowly add the flour, stirring constantly until all is blended. Continue to cook over medium to low heat, stirring constantly until flour and oil blend to form a brown roux the color of a dark copper penny. The longer you cook it, the darker the roux will become. Remember don't rush the cooking of the roux; allow the mixture to develop at its own pace. Transfer to cooking pot and add warm water to hot roux for thickness desired. The mixture will make 5 quarts gumbo juice or one large fricassee dish. Many cooks add onion, bell pepper, and celery mixture right at the end of the cooking process. This spreads the flavor through out the roux. You can double or triple the recipe and store the unused roux in a covered container in your icebox for weeks to be used for future dishes. Roux can be used to flavor or thicken gravies. A dish made with roux always taste better the next day or if frozen the next time it is reheated. If you push the roux too far or burn the roux, the flavor becomes too bitter to use. Throw out and start again. When the stars aint shinin bright, and you fill like you've lost your way When the candle lights of home, burn so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say He used to say soul shine Its better than sunshine Its better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain source: Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule - Soulshine --- On Mon, 11/17/08, Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird wrote: Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird Re: Alia quorn roast potpie Monday, November 17, 2008, 6:36 AM What is a roux?
