Microwave bread sauce
Microwave bread sauce
This super-quick sauce for meat frees up your hob and is much better than the shop-bought instant variety
- Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 5 mins
Plus infusing - Serves 8
- Easy
Ingredients
- 500ml whole milk
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves
- 1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
- 1 tsp white peppercorns
- 1 blade mace, or ¼ tsp ground mace
- 100g white breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp double cream
- pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- knob of butter
Bay leaves
To extract the best flavour from a fresh bay leaf, firmly fold it in half or scrunch it in your hand to break the spine before adding it to the bowl. This releases the essential oils.
Method
-
Combine the milk, onion, cloves, bay leaf, peppercorns and mace in a medium-sized microwaveable bowl. Place in the microwave and cook for 2 mins on High. Remove, cover with cling film and stand for 15 mins, or chill for up to 2 days if the milk’s sell-by date allows.
-
When you’re ready to serve, strain the sauce, then return to the bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, place in the microwave again and cook for 3 mins on High. If the sauce is a bit lumpy, whisk until smooth, then stir in the cream, nutmeg and seasoning. Finish with a knob of butter.
