Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Peel the onion and remove the root. Make 12 holes in the onion using a cocktail stick, and push the cloves into the holes.

  • STEP 2

    Put the onion in a medium saucepan with the bay leaves, peppercorns and milk. Heat gently for 20 mins until the onion is soft, then pour the milk through a sieve into a clean pan and discard the bay, onion and peppercorns.

  • STEP 3

    Heat the infused milk until just simmering, then add the flour, breadcrumbs, butter and nutmeg. Cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has thickened, then add the cream and season well. Can be made up to two days ahead. Reheat gently on the hob before serving.
