Low Sugar Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply savory, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes a simple weeknight dinner feel genuinely special. Fresh lemon juice and zest bring a clean citrus lift, while chopped dill adds a grassy, aromatic note that pairs beautifully with the rich, nutty depth of the ghee itself. There's no sweetener of any kind in this recipe — just whole, real ingredients that let the natural flavors do all the work. It comes together in minutes on the stovetop, then firms up into a soft, spreadable consistency that's ready to spoon over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice whenever you need it. The optional garlic clove adds a subtle savory backbone without overpowering the brightness of the lemon and dill. Keep a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks and you'll always have an effortless upgrade on hand — just rewarm it gently and it's back to liquid gold.
