Cheese sauce you say? Hang on, you are a vegan aren’t you? Well yes I am… BUT occasionally, I’ll use a dairy free cheese, as my cheese ration, just so I can make some recipes. This week I bought some dairy free cheese and vegan sausage for my cheese and meat instead of extra split peas, lentils and nuts…

Cheese sauce

• 1 tablespoon of flour (2 dessert spoons in US and Canada)
• 2 oz grated cheese
• A little dry mustard
• Teacup of milk (I use a dairy free alternative like Hemp milk)
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• teaspoon of margarine or butter

Method

1. Blend flour and mustard with a little milk until smooth, add rest of milk
2. Bring to the boil adding a teaspoon of margarine or butter as the milk becomes warm, and gently cook, stirring constantly, for a minute until the sauce thickens
3. Add grated cheese and seasoning and stir over a gentle heat until fully melted

Serves 2-4
