  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ - ⅔ cup bottled clam juice
  • ½ - ⅔ cup dry white wine
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, microplaned
  • Juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach, stems removed

For the Rice:

  • 2 cartons takeout rice (or frozen cauliflower rice, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons - ¼ cup LS chicken stock
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3-4 celery stalks, finely diced

  • 2-3 tablespoons butter
