Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece Shallot, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.33 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet, stirring frequently until the shallot softens and becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute to release their flavor.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 6

Add the fresh lemon juice, Kalamata olives, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese. Stir gently until the feta partially melts into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your preferences.

Step 9

Serve warm over grilled or roasted pork, chicken, or lamb. Garnish with additional parsley or feta cheese, if desired.
