Chestnut Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee brings together the clean richness of clarified butter with a pop of fresh lemon and fragrant dill. It comes together in a single small saucepan with just a handful of real-food ingredients, making it one of those effortless kitchen staples that quietly elevates everything it touches. The technique is simple: melt, whisk, and let it set — no special equipment, no fuss, and no mystery additives to worry about. Once it firms up to that soft, spreadable consistency, it's ready to spoon generously over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or a bowl of cauliflower rice. The optional garlic nudges it in a savory direction, while the lemon zest keeps things bright and fresh rather than heavy. 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. A little jar of this in your refrigerator is genuinely one of the easiest upgrades you can make to weeknight cooking.
