White Wine Sauce: Cook first 3 ingredients in hot oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; stirring constantly, until crisp-tender. Stir in pimiento and next 4 ingredients; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sour cream and parsley. Yield: 1/3 cup Hollandaise Sauce: Combine egg yolks, salt, and pepper in top of a double boiler; gradually add lemon juice, stirring constantly. Add one-third of butter to egg mixture; cook over hot (not boiling) water, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until butter melts. Add another one-third of butter, stirring constantly, until butter melts. As sauce thickens, stir in remaining one-third of butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened.
