Healthy, because
Grandma's roux cleverly modernized: Rapeseed oil instead of butter provides important unsaturated fatty acids, the mixture of milk and broth makes the sauce much lighter and saves fat.
Even smarter
For an extra portion of minerals, use wholemeal flour for the light sauce, it will not be as nice white but tastes just as delicious. With grated lemon peel and a little lemon juice instead of nutmeg, the light sauce goes perfectly with fish fillets or asparagus; seasoned with curry, it tastes great with roast poultry. For example, try the lemon schnitzel with wild rice and green beans. And if you stir in herbs, the sauce becomes an ideal accompaniment to eggs or meat, such as fillet of beef or even meat loaf. It is also possible to refine the smart roux with chopped, slightly roasted pine nuts.
