Included because a friend had not tried it and did not know how to make it!!

Ingredients:

• Fresh breadcrumbs
• Butter
• Milk
• Peppercorns, cracked
• Coarse sea salt (smoked is ideal)
• 2-3 bay leaves
• 1 onion, peeled
• 1 garlic clove
• 4-5 cloves
• 1-2 cardamom pods (slightly crushed)
• 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
• Mace (optional)
• Parsley stalk (optional)

Stud the onion with a few cloves.  Put in a small non-stick saucepan with bay leaves, cinnamon, mace, parsley, salt and pepper.  Add about 1 pint of milk to the pan and bring to the boil slowly.  When it reaches boiling point, take off the heat and allow to cool slowly.

Melt some butter in a pan with a solid base and add breadcrumbs.  Stir constantly to prevent sticking and ensure all the crumbs toast evenly.

When read to serve, use a sieve to drain the milk from the spices and warm again.  When hot but not boiling, stir in the breadcrumbs, a large knob of butter and milled pepper.  Stir throughly, warm while the breadcrumbs soak into the milk, then serve immediately with your poultry.
