Vegan Macaroni Cheese

Ingredients
300g macaroni, cooked
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup plain white flour
3 cups boiling water
2 Tbsp tamari
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 Tbsp breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp paprika


Method
In a small saucepan, melt the margarine over a low heat.  Whisk in the flour, turn the heat to medium and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.  Whisk in the boiling water one cup at a time, then add the tamari, salt, garlic powder and turmeric. Continue to whisk the sauce until it thickens and bubbles.  Whisk in the olive oil and nutritional yeast flakes, continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth.


Mix part of the sauce into the cooked macaroni and stir in the chopped onion.  Transfer the mix to a casserole dish and pour a generous amount of the sauce on top.  Sprinkle the top with the breadcrumbs and paprika.


Bake at 180C for 15 minutes.  Turn the oven to grill, cook for 4-5 minutes until the cheese sauce gets golden and crisp on top.
