Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Roasted Garlic, store bought or homemade (see Recipe Notes for a homemade recipe)
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2-3  drops Browning Sauce (I use Kitchen Bouquet)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter is completely melted, whisk in the flour. Cook until the roux starts to slightly turn darker, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Add in the roasted garlic, worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, pepper, and browning sauce. Continue to whisk and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. Slowly pour in the chicken stock and continue to whisk to mix and avoid clumping. Continue until all the stock has been added to the saucepan.

  4. Turn the heat up to medium-high to thicken the sauce. Remove from the heat and cover.

  5. When ready to serve, heat it up until you see small bubbles.

Recipe Notes

Homemade Roasted Garlic

(I use my toaster oven for this. If you have one, I recommend using it. Otherwise, use your oven.)

Ingredients

  • 1 Head of Garlic
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Cut the top off the head of garlic so that just the tips of all the cloves have been sliced and are exposed, about 1/4 inch.
  3. Bruch the top of the cloves with olive oil.
  4. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil and the oven for 30-45 minutes. You can use a cupcake pan to keep it from rolling.
  5. Let the garlic cool.
  6. Use a small fork to pull out the garlic from the skins, or just squeeze the entire head and the garlic will come out.

You can roast several heads of garlic at the same time and freeze what you don't use for a future time. Squeeze the garlic out of the heads and use an ice tray to freeze them. After they are frozen, remove them from the ice tray, place them in a freezer ziptop bag, and place it in the freezer. You can keep it up to 6 months.
