Method - Bechamel Sauce

Mix the pea four and cornflour together and gradually whisk in the coconut milk, set aside. 

Add the soya milk, margarine, onions and bay leaves to a pan and bring to a gentle boil. Once boiled turn off the heat and remove the onion halves and bay leaves with a slotted spoon and discard. 

Return the pan to a low heat and whisk in the cocnut milk mix, along with the salt and pepper.
