Creamed veg

 Boring, bland, boiled vegetables getting you down?

Tired of the same old salt and pepper seasoning?  

Why don't you try something new and adventurous?  

Ok maybe not so adventurous, but at least it's something new. 

Creamed Vegetables

For this dish, you really just make a simple sauce and then mix your boiled vegetables into it.  

Note:  Quantities are approximate and will vary depending on how many vegetables you want to cream.  (If you have lots, make lots of sauce, if a little, make a little)  This will be for roughly 2 cups of vegetables. 

1.  Melt roughly 1 Tbsp of butter in a saucepan on medium-low. 

2.  Add roughly 2 Tbsp flour.  This is called a roux. The melted butter will thicken.  Be sure to keep whisking to prevent lumps from forming.  

3.  At this point add about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of milk, whisking constantly.  

4.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  At this point you can also add any other desired herbs or spices, ie. parsley or dill.  

5.  Toss in cooked vegetables to coat in cream sauce and serve.
