Ingredients
- 600ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- 1 onion, peeled
- A few cloves
- A pinch of nutmeg
- 15g butter
- 1 Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
- 200g white ‘day old’ breadcrumbs, finely processed
Method
- Place the milk in a pan. Cut the onion in half and use the cloves to secure a bay leaf to it. Add that to the pan.
- Add the butter, a pinch of nutmeg and the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot to the pan, and stir it all in. Bring the pan to the boil.
- Take out the onion and stir in the ‘day old’ breadcrumbs. Cook slowly for 5–6 minutes to thicken the sauce and then pour it into a serving jug.
- Cover the jug with cling film and keep somewhere warm until it’s time to serve.
- Tip: However much sauce you make, stick to a 3:1 ratio. For example, 3 times the amount of milk to 1 times the volume of breadcrumbs, so 600ml milk and 200g of breadcrumbs as used here. Nice and simple!
- Healthy Tips: Use wholemeal breadcrumbs rather than white breadcrumbs. Try Flora Buttery rather than butter.
