Recipe and Image Genius Foods and Lactofree (www.geniusglutenfree.com / www.lactofree.co.uk )Bread sauce provides an aromatic and creamy accompaniment to the Traditional Christmas roast and is easily adapted for gluten and lactose free diets, by using Genius bread and Lactofree milk.
Bread SauceIngredients
- 1 small onion, cut across into halves
- Whole cloves
- 500ml / ¾ pint of Lactofree milk
- 2 bay leaves
- Plenty of fresh black pepper (4 grinds)
- A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- ½ tsp of salt
- 4 medium slices of White Genius Gluten Free Bread, whizzed into fine breadcrumbs
- 30g / 1oz dairy free butter substitute
Method
- Stud the cut side of the onion halves with the cloves and place, cloves down in a medium, heavy bottomed pan.
- Place the bay leaves, nutmeg, four grinds of black pepper and salt with the milk into the pan and slowly bring the milk to a gentle simmer. Simmer for five minutes then remove from the heat and leave the ingredients to infuse until the milk is cool. Strain the flavoured milk, through a sieve into a clean pan.
- Gently reheat the milk to a simmer and stir in the breadcrumbs. Stir slowly over a low heat until the breadcrumbs are soft and swollen and have thickened the sauce.
- The sauce should be creamy in consistency, so add a splash more milk if it is too thick.
- Just before serving, stir in the butter, taste and season with more salt and freshly ground pepper, as necessary.
