tj2650 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My husband is frustrated by NO creamy sauces, does anyone know any compliant recipes for WHITE sauces that I could use?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Ann** Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 As in alfredo sauce to top spaghetti, or more of a dipping sauce or sandwich topping? I found the recipe below, but it won't be white http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/13060-avocado-alfredo-sauce/ I've made "alfredo avocado sauce before, and its delicious, but it not a substitute that satisfies an alfredo calling. Oh,there's the recipe below. I've made it pre-W30 and it was GOOD as a sub alfredo and it reheated well in leftovers (zucchini noodles, broccoli and chicken drowned in it), but not sure if it would be as good w/o the touch of cheese. However, the author does say you can leave it out: http://cupcakesomg.blogspot.com/2012/08/caulif-redo-sauce-aka-paleo-alfredo.html For white dipping sauces or sandwich spreads, I use paleo mayo as a base and then google from there. I've made tangy fish taco sauce, spicy ranch, regular ranch, and i'm trying a horseradish version this weekend. The recipes are easy, and i totally eyeball them. its mostly mayo, then some acid, and add appropriate seasonings. For ranch, I do dill, parsley, and garlic with lemon juice, for spicy ranch variations, its lemon or lime juice, and a combo of cayenne, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, hot sauce, etc all depending on what type of hot I want. Fish taco sauce was lime, cumin, chili powder and dill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Ann** Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 On cauli recipe, I did use nutrional yeast to give the sauce the zing w/o the cheese. I just remembered a batch I made previously w/ no cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj2650 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Cannot do nutritional yeast as it triggers my migraines. Thanks for the awesome ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Ann** Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 you could probably skip the nutrional yeast and maybe up the seasonings to help cover the cauliflower taste. I just made cauliflower "cous cous" (mine was too small to be called "rice") and it was very easy to cover the cauli taste with seasonings, so I don't think it would be too hard to do in the faux-fredo recipe.

1Maryann Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Coconut milk subs well in most recipes that call for cream. Here is a pork chop recipe in a mushroom cream sauce that is easy to make and very tasty. http://fastpaleo.com/recipe/pork-chops-in-coconut-mushroom-sauce/ And if Indian-inspired recipes are of interest, try this one for chicken in turmeric cream sauce. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/pork-chops-in-creamy-turmeric-sauce/#axzz2uRzCxeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted March 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2014 There are loads of wonderful homemade mayo-based creamy sauces in Well Fed 2. I highly recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahInParis Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Melissa Joulwan (author of Well Fed and the blog clothesmakethegirl) has a "sunshine sauce" that is really yummy (well, I've only made an AIP adaptation, but I'm sure the real recipe is better than my adapted one). Worth googling, I think it's on her blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted March 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2014 I second the Well Fed and Well Fed 2 recommendation. Both have some really delicious sauces, not really an alfredo replacement, but one is coconut milk + Morrocan spice blend with veggies that is out of this world - sometimes I throw in leftover protein too. It's not a thick pour over sauce, rather a saucy dish but we really find it delicious. Well Fed has Creamy Spice Market Kale (the recipe I describe above), homemade mayo with other additions = Spicy Secret Sauce (Hubz favorite), Sunshine Sauce (kind of like peanut sauce) and more. Well Fed 2 has Lizard Sauce, one of my favorites. I haven't even made most of the sauces in here yet but have heard so many raves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPistachio Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I used this paleo bechamel in my moussaka this week and it was delicious! Things I did differently -- My cauliflower was fresh and "riced" as I keep a container ready to go in the fridge. That helped it absorb the liquid better, I think. I think I used 2 cups of cauliflower to 1 cup of the liquid: http://blog.stuffimakemyhusband.com/2013/05/moussaka-grain-free-dairy-free.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
