Method
Bread Sauce
In a pan (lid on) on a low heat, cook the shallots, salt, all the herbs, and spices until they’re soft but have no colour.
Add in the chicken stock and reduce until almost gone.
On a medium-high heat (lid off) add milk and bring to a boil, then pass and squeeze.
Put the warm liquid into a thermo mix and blitz slowly, adding the bread until you have your desired texture and thickness.
Season to taste.
