"Cheese" Sauce

This is a nice replacement for cheese sauce, without using hard fat based fake cheeses.
There is a very low salt yeast extract that should work in this too, but I couldn't get any last time I looked. I think it is stronger tasting so you might want to use less of it.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plain flour
400ml soya milk
1 teaspoon yeast extract
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion granules
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

Method
Heat the oil gently in a small saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes.
Be careful not to burn the flour.

Remove from the heat and place the base of the saucepan in a bowl of water to cool it.
Don't get the water in the pan.

Mix in the mustard powder.
Stir in the soya milk a little at a time making a smooth paste before pouring the next bit in, until it is all mixed in nicely.

Return pan to a medium heat and stir continuously as the sauce thickens.
When it starts to thicken, reduce heat to low and add all the rest of the ingredients.
Keep stirring until the yeast extract has all been incorporated and the mixture is nice and thick.


Works well as a pizza topping, lasagne topping, and anywhere you would use cheese sauce.
