Traditional bread sauce
Serve this sauce as a part of a Traditonal Christmas lunch.
ingredients
3 cups freshly made white breadcrumbs
1 large onion
20 whole cloves
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 bay leaf
10 black peppercorns
300ml milk
300ml cream
60g butter
Salt
freshly ground pepper
method
Cut the onion in half and push in cloves. Place the onion/cloves, nutmeg, bay leaf, peppercorns and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Cover and leave in a warm place for the milk to infuse for two or more hours.
Strain the milk into a clean saucepan and reserve the clove studded onion for later. Stir the milk over a low heat until the breadcrumbs have swollen and the sauce thickened. Replace the onion and leave in a warm place until the sauce is needed.
Just before serving, remove the onion. Reheat gently, then beat in the remaining butter and taste to check the seasoning.
