Mushroom And Bacon Sauce

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 slices bacon, diced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
• 1 cup cream (I always use light)
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, bacon and mushrooms, and cook until the onion is well softened-about 8 minutes.
2. Add the sherry, and allow it to reduce a little.
3. Add the lemon juice, paste, stock powder, and cream.
4. Cook for about 5 minutes more or until reduced to a nice sauce consistency.
5. Season to taste with pepper and stir through the herbs.
6. Serve over steak or chicken breast.
