Method

1. Put the onion in a saucepan with the milk. Add the nutmeg, bay leaf, pepper, cloves and enough fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs to not quite absorb the milk at first.

2. Bring very slowly to simmering point, then stir and simmer for 45 minutes adding more nutmeg and milk if needed.

3. If you like, add the cream at the end.

4. Remove the bay leaf and the cloves if you can find them.

5. Season to taste and serve hot.

Another good recipe but again can you freeze this ahead of time?

or alternatively stud the onion with the cloves

Empty an un-used Tea bag, put the cloves inside and firmly re-seal, stir carefully so as not to tear the bag.

No more hard-to-find cloves, and easy to discard straight into the bin.
