Where to find ingredients
Heart of palm is typically found in the canned or jarred vegetable aisle of supermarkets, often near other specialty vegetables or canned items. If you cannot find fresh or jarred hearts of palm, canned is the best alternative to maintain the texture. Butter, onions, garlic, milk, flour, and spices like nutmeg are staples found in any local grocery store or fresh food market.
Preparation method
- Sauté the onion and garlic in butter until fragrant and soft
- Add the chopped heart of palm to the pan and stir well
- Stir in the flour until it is fully incorporated into the mixture
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps
- Season the mixture with salt and a pinch of nutmeg
- Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency
- Let it cool completely before using it as a filling for your pastries
