1/2 tbsp English mustard
Fresh thyme

Method

Fry 1 diced onion in a splash of olive oil until soft.
Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and 75g of salted farmhouse butter. Once the butter has melted, add 75g of plain flour and stir into a paste.
Slowly add 500ml of milk, and 250ml of chicken stock, stirring as you go.
Next add half a tablespoon of English mustard, a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme and season to taste. That’s the sauce done!
