8 servings
For the ghee
- ½ lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the butter, smashed garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the butter melt completely, then reduce the heat to low.

Cook the butter at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk solids on the bottom of the pan turn golden and the foam on the surface subsides, 20–25 minutes. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes — the solids can go from golden to burnt quickly. The garlic will soften and turn lightly golden at the edges; the herbs will become fragrant and slightly crisp.
