Bechamel Sauce

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons rice flour (or any flour like whole wheat, oat or even toasted barley flour)
1 tablespoon sesame butter (or any nut butter like cashew or almond)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 scallions, chopped (optional)
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oil

Preparation:

In a saucepan saute onion and scallions in oil until flavorful (4 or 5 minutes).
Add flour, sesame butter, and salt diluted in water.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes over a low flame, half-covered with lid.

A pinch of cumin, coriander, nutmeg, fresh basil, rosemary, or thyme produces a surprisingly different effect each time.

For a tasty and nutritious variation on this basic theme, try adding a cup of mashed black beans, lentils or aduki beans.

Enjoy.
