Method
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of liquid oil over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the oil, stirring constantly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the flour turns slightly golden and the raw flour taste is cooked off. Be careful not to burn the flour.
- Slowly pour in 1 glass of milk (200 ml), continuing to whisk the mixture to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Season the mixture with pepper to taste. You can adjust the amount depending on how spicy you want the sauce to be.
- Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add 2 slices of cheddar cheese to the saucepan.
- Stir until the cheese has completely melted into the sauce, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional pepper if needed. If you prefer a stronger cheesy flavor, you can add another slice of cheddar or even a bit of grated Parmesan.
- In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the red pepper powder is well incorporated into the butter and releases its aroma.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pour the prepared cheesy pepper sauce over your favorite dish—whether it's pasta, vegetables, or grilled chicken.
- Drizzle the buttered red pepper sauce over the top of the cheese sauce for a pop of color and an extra kick of flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
