Microwave broccoli & carrot with ¼ cup water for 5-6 minutes or until the veggies are almost tender.
Heat butter in a medium size sauce pan; add onions and garlic; sauté until onions turn translucent.
Sprinkle flour on the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-low flame until the flour doesn?t smell raw anymore.
