Veggies in White sauce

This is another ez and quite healthy sandwich for dinner or anytime you wanna grab a bite. Its also a good option for a picnic basket because its a cold sandwich.
The ingredients are:
  • 2small         carrots diced
  • 2-3 florets   cauliflower cut into small pcs.
  • 12-15         french beens cut into small pcs.
  • 4 loaves      6" bread
Boil the veggies for a minute till they become soft but are a litttle firm.  You can steam them in the microwave for 4min on high.

For white sauce:
  • 1 1/2tbsp   butter
  • 1 1/2tbsp   maida [refined flour]
  • 2cups         milk
  • 1                onion cut into 4
  • 1                bayleaf
  • 2                cloves
  • white pepper powder and salt for seasoning
  1. Heat a pan ,put butter, add maida and stir cook continously for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and keep aside.
  3. In a saucepan bring the milk to a boil with the onion,cloves and bayleaf and let simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Strain the milk and while it is still boiling hot  pour the milk into the butter- maida mix while stirring continuously [to avoid formation of lumps].
  5. Put the pan back on heat , allow to simmer for another 2 min. ,add seasoning and a pinch of sugar.
  6. Mix in the boiled vegetables and turn off the burner.
  7. Slice each bread loaf horizontally.
  8. Spoon out the white sauce mix onto the bread and enjoy!
Tip: Prepare this sandwich a little in advance to allow the bread to soak in the flavour.For later consumption wrap each piece in cling film.
