BRANDY MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the shallot until brown - about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan by adding the brandy and scraping up any bits of brown on the bottom of the pan. Simmer and reduce the volume of the brandy by half.
• Add the chicken stock, Dijon mustard and heavy cream and whisk until smooth. Simmer gently until the sauce has thickened - about 8 minutes. (If you'd like a super smooth sauce, strain the mixture through a fine strainer to remove the shallots. Otherwise, just continue with the recipe.)
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter and fresh thyme and swirl until the butter has melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
