Roux

A roux is paste consisting of equal portions of flour and/or butter or vegetable oil cooked over medium heat until a paste if formed. The roux is used to thicken and provide some flavor to sauces, gravies, soups and stews. When cooked to a light beige color the roux is referred to as a blonde roux. With continued cooking over low to medium heat the roux is rendered a caramel color similar to peanut butter. At this stage the roux is referred to as a brown roux.
