Ingredients
1 white onion, finely chopped
2 leeks, finely chopped
600ml semi-skimmed milk
2 tsps vegetable bouillon stock powder
50g breadcrumbs
2 fresh bay leaves
Method
- Dry-fry the leeks and onion in a non-stick saucepan until soft. Add the milk, stock powder, breadcrumbs and bay and simmer gently, stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking. Pour into a container or bowl and allow to cool before covering with clingfilm.
- Store refrigerated until ready to use. Reheat for 5 minutes in a saucepan until hot. Before serving add a little more milk if required as the sauce may have thickened while stored.
