MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS (8 SERVINGS)

This creamy sauce is low in fat and cholesterol free. Use it for making creamed soups, sauces,
and gravies. Be sure to continue blending the ingredients until they are completely smooth;
this can take up to two minutes on the highest speed. The first few times you make this sauce, give
it a taste test to make certain it is smooth and creamy before proceeding.

21⁄3 cups water
1⁄3 cup millet
1⁄4 cup raw cashews
1⁄2 teaspoon salt


1. Combine 11⁄3 cups of the water with the millet in a saucepan. Bring
to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 55 minutes, stirring occasionally,
until the millet is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.

2. Transfer the millet to a blender. Add the remaining cup of water
and all of the cashews and salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, until completely
smooth.

3. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Basic White
Sauce will keep for up to 2 days.
