Ingredients
300g chopped heart of palm
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
200ml milk
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
200ml milk
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Where to find ingredients
Look for canned or jarred heart of palm in the canned vegetables aisle, and buy the rest from the fresh produce, dairy, and baking aisles at your local supermarket or greengrocer. If needed, a neutral-tasting vegetable stock can substitute for a small part of the milk, but the original milk is ideal.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the butter until soft and translucent
- Add the chopped heart of palm to the pan and mix well with the onion and garlic
- Sprinkle the plain flour over the heart of palm and seasonings, stirring for about 1 minute to cook it lightly
- Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon to prevent lumps from forming
- Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the filling thickens and reaches a creamy consistency
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste
- Remove from the heat and let the filling cool completely before using it
