Jazz up boring meat

Plain chicken, pork loin, fish, or even steak is boring!  Here's a sauce that's healthy and full of flavor.  I've adapted this recipe from a combination of many recipes and I tend to change it every time I make it, but here's the basic recipe:

Leek sauce

2 medium leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms, any variety (I love mushrooms, so I include a lot, but you can add as many as you like or leave them out. Portabella mushrooms are really good, but plain old button mushrooms would be just fine)
a splash of Brandy
a splash of chicken stock
1-2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
1-2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
Crushed red pepper (as much or as little as you like)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream

Put olive oil (or spray) in large pan and turn on heat to medium high
Add leeks and cook until just softened
Add mushrooms and cook until just softened
Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until garlic is cooked
Add a splash of Brandy and scrape up the browned bits on the pan
Turn heat to high and reduce Brandy
Add a splash of chicken stock and stir until slightly thickened
Turn heat down to medium low
Add rosemary, parsley, crushed red pepper, Dijon, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste
Heat all of the ingredients through and serve (serves 2)

This is excellent over roasted chicken, pork loin, or fish.  I usually sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Simply delicious!

Note:  You can add any herbs you like- thyme and basil are great additions.  Leeks are part of the onion family and look like giant scallions.  They are milder in taste and really good.  If you can't find them, I'm sure that regular onions would be fine- just a little stronger tasting (I've never tried this with regular onions)
