About the Recipe
Used to deepen flavor in gravies, soups, and stews — this clean roux honors both your body and your healing journey.
Ingredients
2 cups organic unbleached flour (or organic einkorn flour — nutrient-rich and easier to digest)
2 cups organic avocado oil (chosen for high heat stability and clean, minimal processing)
A roux isn’t just a technique — it’s intentional nourishment that forms the heart of many healing meals.
Preparation
Instructions (Slow, Simple, Soulful)
Prepare your tools:
Use a heavy pot or cast iron skillet
- something sturdy that distributes heat gently and evenly.
Warm the oil:
Place on medium-low heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Add the flour gently:
Sprinkle it in slowly, whisking with intention so it blends into a smooth paste.
Stir with patience:
This is where your connection to the kitchen grows. Stir continuously.
At first, it will be pale and fragrant
like toasted nuts.
After more time and gentle care, it will deepen in color and aroma - rich, warm, and - soulful.
Know when it's done:
Some dishes benefit from a light roux; others — like gumbo or dark gravies - benefit from a deeper, toasty color. Either way, let your senses guide you.
✨ Nourishing Notes
Organic, intentionally sourced ingredients make all the difference in flavor and how your body receives it.
Avocado oil supports high heat cooking without breaking down into harmful compounds.
Take your time — this is mindful cooking that feeds both body and spirit.
