Ingredients

8 servings

For the ghee

½ lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Ghee keeps the buttery flavor and is great for sauteing, finishing, and melted-butter uses.
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.
2
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.
