Instructions
- Put the milk, onion quarters, cloves, bay leaves, peppercorns and nutmeg into a small saucepan. Place over a low heat and allow to come up to almost boiling (about 10 – 15 minutes).
- Turn the burner off and pop a lid on your pan. Allow the milk to sit there and infuse with the flavours for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour. (The longer you leave it, the stronger the flavour.)
- Next, strain the milk through a sieve into a clean saucepan and add the roughly torn bread and salt.
- Bring the bread sauce back up to the boil, then turn it down to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the bread sauce is reduced to your preferred thickness.
- Serve with roast chicken, turkey or duck.
Notes
- To make ahead, cook as above then put in a plastic lidded box and place in the fridge or freezer.
- To reheat, defrost if necessary, then place in a small saucepan with a splash of milk and heat until piping hot all the way though.
- For a richer bread sauce, stir through a splash of cream and/or a knob of butter just before serving.
- Suitable for freezing.
