Bechamel does not have to be cooked on the usual sour cream. Let your imagination run wild: use yogurt! This lighter version of the sauce will perfectly complement both a simple vegetable dish and more complex meat dishes.

How to cook Bechamel sauce based on yogurt and olive oil

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, beat 4 tbsp. l. olive oil and 4 tbsp. l. wheat flour. Cook, whisking, for 1 minute, until the mixture starts to foam. Remove from heat and continue beating for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Pour in, whisking constantly, 500 ml of cold milk. Add 250 ml light yoghurt. Put on high heat and, continuing to whisk, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and heat mixture until smooth. Remove from heat and add 60 g of grated cheese. Whisk lightly. Season with salt and white pepper.
