Bread sauce for 4

Awesome for Christmas dinner with turkey or with the basic roast chicken. Works well with stronger stuffings for a milder or tamed taste. Use garlic salt for a little more interest if serving without a stuffing base.

Works really well with frozen breadcrumbs pre-measured and labelled to save on washing up. If doing this for Christmas day, the weekend before Guy Fawkes day is about the right time.

If scaling, do so with the milk and the breadcrumbs not with the other ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion.
• 5 whole cloves.
• 450ml milk.
• 1 bay leaf.
• 6 black peppercorns.
• 15g / ½oz butter.
• 75g / 3oz breadcrumbs.
