Bread sauce

Bread sauce is a traditional sauce dating back to medieval times. The sauce is usually made with a combination of onions, milk, butter, coarse breadcrumbs made from stale bread, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and bay leaves. The onions is studded with cloves and boiled in milk with the seasonings. The mixture is taken off the heat and left in a warm place in order for the milk to infuse with the flavors for a few hours. The breadcrumbs and butter are mixed with the milk, and the mixture is heated until the sauce thickens. The onions and spices are removed from the sauce, and it’s then served warm or cold, typically as an accompaniment to roasted meat such as chicken and turkey.
