Brazil Nut Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee transforms everyday meals with almost zero effort. The combination of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill gives the rich, clarified butter a vibrant lift that feels restaurant-worthy but comes together in minutes on your stovetop. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, you never have to second-guess a label or worry about hidden fillers sneaking into your cooking fat. Spooned over grilled fish or roasted vegetables, it melts into a glossy, fragrant sauce that makes simple food taste genuinely special. The optional garlic adds a subtle savory backbone if you want a little more depth, and the sea salt and black pepper round everything out without overpowering the citrus and herb. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, so you can make a batch on Sunday and reach for it all week long — just a gentle rewarm and it's ready to go again.
