cream sauce for cauliflower?

[chichi]

My mom makes this white sauce for her cauliflower...but the base is flour and butter with milk...What else can I use?

I know I could use the heavy cream instead of milk...but the flour? Thats the key ...and I dont want to eat that....

I've just been making a cheese sauce by melting about 2 tbsp butter, adding 1/4 cup of cream, shredded cheddar (you'll know how much cheddar to add based on the consistency when it's melted). Then I add a dash of worcestershire to give it a bit of a bite and maybe a tiny bit of cayenne or hot sauce, melt it all together and there it is! No flour needed. I love it on any steamed veggies.

Hope you like it!

Thanks Jemma,

Thanks again

God Bless.

You can reduce heavy cream until it makes a sauce, then season to taste. I like it a lot more than the bechamel-type white sauce that's made from flour. It's good for OWL, but you won't get much sauce from the three tablespoons of cream you get for induction. And it carries a heck of a caloric payload.

Cheesy Cream Sauce

My husband likes this on brocolli or cauliflower:

Melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat and toss in a Tbsp of minced garlic (I use the kind in a jar). Saute' this until it gets a little nutty in color and then add a little cream or half and half, salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Then take about a half oz of smoky cheddar cheese and stir it in until it is melted and the mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon. This is yummy and my non-dieting family enjoys it too!
