Chicken Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes a simple weeknight meal feel genuinely special. Clarified butter gets whisked together with fresh lemon juice, zest, chopped dill, and a hint of garlic, then left to firm into a silky, spreadable consistency that melts beautifully over anything hot. The whole process takes just minutes and requires nothing more than a small saucepan and a whisk — no complicated technique, no long ingredient list. Spoon it over grilled fish straight from the pan, let it pool into roasted vegetables, or stir it through cauliflower rice for an instant flavor upgrade. Because ghee is naturally free from dairy proteins and made from just clarified butter, it fits cleanly into a paleo approach without any of the guesswork that comes with store-bought flavored butters. A jar keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, so you can make a batch on Sunday and reach for it all week long.
