Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, add a knob of butter at the end of cooking.
If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid during the last few minutes of cooking to allow it to reduce further.
Serve as a side dish with roasted chicken, pork, or fish.
The herbs can be substituted with other favorites like dill or chives.
