Bread Sauce with Goose?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I am having goose. I need to finish my Ocado order this evening (yes, I know there are problems, but mine is still definately editable). I am planning to do a plum sauce that Greeny recommended, but want another sauce, just for variety ...

bread sauce goes with any bird.

but you're not going to buy it surely?

what's the plum sauce?

No! I'm not going to buy it! Just need to buy ingredients!

(I think MIL makes bread sauce from a packet.)

WTF is in bread sauce, anyway?

Plum sauce is on this thread.

bread mainly

milk
breadcrumbs
onion
cloves
peppercorns
bayleaf
a little butter
a little cream
nutmeg

and the plum sauce? recipe us up, please!

White bread? Brown bread?

or...

bread broken up into clumps
milk
cloves
onion
pepper

boil onions & cloves in milk. then throw away onion (or chop and leave in) and clove, add bread and boil for a bit. the bread breaks down in the milk anyway so there's no need to put too much effort into the breadcrumbs. white bread.

You can buy bread sauce in Tescos all ready made. In a similar pot to their chilled pasta sauces. Its chilled. I dont like it much so I have got it incase guests want some.

SP - that's v like my bread sauce - didn't know about he bread breaking down though - I always make breadcrumbs

go on - try it without.

I suppose mine is more sliced up cubes rather than clumps, but def not crumbs. when I discovered it (it's a jamie oliver thing) I was most put out about all the time I'd wasted making crumbs. oh well.

ds2 (5) is trained to make breadcrumbs in the hand blender

SP do you stick the cloves into the onion so that it resembles a sea mine - we always do

where else would you stick the cloves?

oooh look at Delia's

plum sauce? please? anyone?

NQC, we are having a relishy sort of sauce made with eating apples, ginger and green chillis - it's a Josceline Dimbleby recipe for goose.
If you are interested I can post the details. We've had it before and it is excellent.

i'd be very interested in that, if you don't mind posting it...

Once again, Greeny's plum sauce is on this thread. I linked to it below!

Look, I'll C+P it ...

[quoting from Greeny]

I do this with duck:

1/2lb stoned washed plums (preferably dark ones), chopped
juice of 1 large orange and 1/2 a lemon
1tbsp soft brown sugar
large pinch cinnamon
small pinch nutmeg

Boil, stirring regularly, until the sugar has dissolved, the plums have rendered down and released their colour and the sauce is a vscous texture. It may need to reduce at a simmer (stirring regularly) depending on the size of the orange you used!

Tis delicious.

Oooh, Marina, that sounds tempting. I will probably make bread sauce, just because. Well, I quite like it.

I can make these sauces the day before, right?

goodness. that is at once very kind and extremely testy of you, NQC. i had obviously x-posted when i'd first asked for the recipe, and i hadn't gone back and re-read the thread, sorry about that... however am now extremely interested in the chilli sauce, so nyar.

Oh, "kind and testy" is pretty much what I'm aiming for here, so thanks! :-P

We are having apple sauce with goose.
