Note
This sauce is versatile and can be served over cooked pasta, rice, quinoa, or alongside grilled chicken or pork medallions.
If using fresh herbs instead of dried, increase the quantity to 1 tablespoon of each herb and add them at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock and ensure the Worcestershire sauce used is anchovy-free.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of stock if the sauce has thickened too much.
The original recipe referenced pork medallions and tomatoes, which are not included in the ingredient list. These directions focus strictly on the provided ingredients for the sauce itself.
