medium
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 onion, peeled and halved
- 4 cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 500ml whole milk
- 100g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp double cream (for extra richness) - optional
- 1/4 freshly grated nutmeg - optional
- 2 tbsp Borough Broth Organic Chicken Fat
Instructions
- Stud the onion halves with the cloves.
- In a saucepan, add the whole milk, clove-studded onion, and bay leaves.
- Gently heat the milk until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it infuse for 10–15 minutes.
- Remove the onion and bay leaves from the infused milk.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, allowing them to soak up the milk and thicken the sauce.
- Stir in the chicken fat to give the sauce a rich flavour.
- For extra creaminess, stir in the double cream (optional).
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg if desired.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until smooth and thick.
- Transfer the bread sauce to a serving bowl and serve warm alongside the roast turkey and other trimmings.
