Velouté Sauce
Velouté Sauce is a classic French white sauce made by thickening a light stock (fish, chicken or veal) with a blonde roux; it’s valued for its smooth, silky texture and is a building block for many composed sauces and dishes. It is relatively low in energy at 66kcal per 100 g and adds body and savory flavor to recipes without a large calorie load. Nutritionally it provides some protein and vitamin A from dairy ingredients but contains saturated fat from the butter used in the roux; using less butter or leaner stock keeps the sauce lighter while preserving its texture. The sauce gives a good amino-acid contribution for a condiment but is very low in fiber and plant polyphenols, so pairing it with vegetables or lean proteins improves the overall meal balance.
