I'm currently trying to make a garlic white wine sauce but I have no thickening agents other than flour.
I just made brown roux and I was wondering if I could use that to thicken my white wine sauce.
My pasta will also feature sundried tomatoes, basil, and spicy italian sausage.
Will this Roux fuck everything up for me?
bump. I need some answers.
So make it a white wine bechemel?
You're fine. Calm down. If you put things in it that taste good, it will taste good.

I used brown roux instead. pretty good. would it taste much different than bechemel sauce?

This, as simple as it gets, you incompetent imbecile bastard.

That was actually my first thought, but I thought it would have a sandy texture.
the darker the roux, the worse it will be as a thickener.
but the better it will taste.

i must have fucked up the roux because it was like molasses

well the darker it is, the more you're cooking out the flour proteins (or whatever) that thicken sauces. raw flour thickens the most, blonde roux less, peanut butter roux even less, and chocolate roux the least of all.
it's why most gumbo recipes (chocolate roux) will have another thickening agent line okra or filé powder, whereas etoufée recipes (blonde roux), don't.
