How to Make Leek And Mushroom Sauce Low Fat

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 2 cups of sliced leeks (white and light green parts only) to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened and slightly translucent.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and leeks. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of light sour cream, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon. Gently heat through, ensuring the sauce does not boil. Boiling will cause the sour cream to separate.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately over cooked chicken breasts, fish fillets, or your favorite vegetable.
  9. Garnish with extra fresh tarragon (optional).
