Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins

Stud the peeled onion with the whole cloves and poach gently in the milk with bay leaves until soft. Remove bay leaves and discard.

Blend onion, milk and cloves together until smooth then add as many fresh white breadcrumbs as needed to achieve the consistency you like.

Season with salt and pepper and stir in butter. Serve warm.

Tip

Bread sauce will keep in the fridge for about three days, I use the leftovers in turkey sandwiches - delicious!
