The French roux is pronounced "rue," and in cooking terms, it is a thickening agent. It is typically made from oil or fat which is melted or liquefied and then combined with an equal amount of flour until it is mixed thoroughly, creating a paste. The roux is then added to a food either as a sauce or simply as a thickening agent for a sauce that already exists. Adding roux to chili gives the chili a thicker, smoother texture.
