Microwave Roux - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup salad oil
2/3 cup flour
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup green onion top, chopped
1/4 cup hot water (approximately)

Preparation

Mix together until well-blended the oil and the flour in a 4 cup glass measuring cup. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 6-7 minutes. Stir after 6 minutes. The roux should be light brown and VERY HOT!
Add the onions, celery, and green pepper, stir in, and microwave, uncovered, for 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, parsley and green onion tops, stir in and microwave for 2 minutes. If any oil comes to the surface CAREFULLY pour it off.
Slowly add enough hot water to bring up to the 4 cup mark and stir in well.
The roux is now ready to use.
