INGREDIENTS -avocado oil, butter, chicken broth, garlic, goat cheese, spinach, white wine

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil - or olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic - smashed
  • 8 ounces goat cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 6 cups fresh spinach - chopped
  • 4 tablespoons grassfed unsalted butter - optional

Instructions

  • Add chicken broth, wine, lemon juice, avocado oil, and garlic to a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to simmer.
  • Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mixture reduces by half.
  • When mixture is reduced by half, remove smashed garlic and add remainder of ingredients to the saucepan. Stir until spinach is wilted, cheese is melted, and all ingredients are mixed well, for about 5-8 minutes.
  • Depending on how thick you want the sauce, adjust the time – cook it around 3-4 minutes for a thin consistency and for around 8-10 minutes for a thick consistency. Don’t forget to keep stirring, burnt sauce is no good!

Notes

  • I encourage you to use a good quality grass-fed butter, although optional. It adds a delectable richness to the sauce without overpowering it with butter.
  • Since this recipe is so versatile, you may want to experiment with how thin or thick you like it. If you want to serve it on burgers, try to make it thicker by reducing the chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice by half. If you want to serve it with pasta, add more of the liquid ingredients to create a perfect pasta sauce.
