Where to find ingredients
Look for jarred or canned heart of palm in the canned vegetables aisle; onions, garlic, milk, flour, butter, salt and black pepper are commonly found in the produce, dairy, baking and spice sections of supermarkets. If needed, use margarine as a substitute for butter.

- Add the chopped heart of palm to the pan and mix well with the onion and garlic
- Sprinkle the flour over the heart of palm and seasonings, stirring for about 1 minute to cook it lightly
- Add the milk little by little, stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon to prevent lumps from forming
