DIRECTIONS
- Prepare all fruits and vegetables in accordance with guideline card A-G-31. Drain preminced garlic.
- Combine water with dry milk; whisk until fully incorporated. Add parmesan and whisk to combine. Using an immersion blender, blend 4 to 5 minutes, until smooth. Add heavy cream. Reserve for use in Step 5.
- In a large stock pot or steam-jacketed kettle, melt butter. Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 to 6 minutes over low-medium heat until browned and aromatic.
- Gradually sprinkle in flour while whisking vigorously. Continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden brown.
- In stages, slowly add reconstituted milk mixture to the roux, whisking vigorously after each addition to prevent clumping. Once incorporated, bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent roux and parmesan from sinking to bottom of pot and burning.
- Simmer 15 to 20 minutes over low-medium heat, until sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. CP: Hold for hot service at 135°F (57°F) or refrigerate at 41°F (5°C).
RECIPE NOTES
- If substituting granulated garlic for minced garlic, use half the volume. In other words, for every teaspoon of fresh minced garlic, use ½ teaspoon of granulated garlic.
- 100 portions of this recipe will yield approximately 3 gal + 2 cup (25 lb).
