Instructions:

1. Infuse the Milk: In a saucepan, combine the milk with chopped onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, cloves, and peppercorns. Bring the mixture just below boiling point, then remove from heat and cover. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

2. Strain the Milk: After the infusion period, strain the milk mixture to remove the solids, and reserve the infused milk for later use.

3. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux. Gradually pour in the strained milk, beating continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

4. Combine with Vegetables and Prawns: Once the sauce is ready, add the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, diced red pepper, and prawns to the pan. Season with salt and ground mace to taste.

5. Cook Until Tender: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for approximately 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the prawns are cooked through. Ensure the dish is piping hot throughout.

6. Serve: Serve the Prawn Medley hot, alongside cooked pasta of your choice.

7. Optional Step: If you’re using fresh vegetables rather than frozen, blanch them first in boiling, salted water for 3-5 minutes. Then, drain them well before adding to the dish.
