Method

step 1

Melt the butter in a pan, add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook over a low heat for 15-20 mins, stirring, until the onion is golden. Scoop half the onions out and set aside.
step 2

Add the milk, cloves, peppercorns, bay and thyme, and simmer for 20 mins. Strain and return the milk to the pan. Add the breadcrumbs and simmer for 3-4 mins. Stir in the cream, nutmeg and some seasoning. Will keep chilled for up to three days, or frozen for up to a month.
step 3

Reheat the onions in a pan and sprinkle over the sauce, then heat a knob of butter and fry the sage for 1-2 mins. Scatter over and serve.
