Bread sauce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bread sauce is a warm or cold sauce thickened with bread. It is similar to bread pudding, only more savory than sweet and served with a meal instead of dessert.

The traditional British bread sauce is made with milk, butter and bread crumbs, flavoured with onion, salt, clove, pepper and bay leaf, and typically accompanies roast chicken and turkey at Christmas. The bread needs to be slightly stale before being made into breadcrumbs, meaning it is an economical way of using up stale bread.

Turkish cuisine also features a cold sauce made from breadcrumbs mixed with pounded walnuts or hazelnuts and served with chick pea salads and, most famously, with chicken or duck as Circassian chicken.
