Cinnamon Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee brings together fresh lemon, fragrant dill, and rich clarified butter into something that feels far more special than the sum of its parts. It comes together in one small saucepan with barely any active cooking time, making it an effortless way to elevate weeknight dinners. Spooned over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice, it adds a glossy, flavor-packed finish that tastes like something from a restaurant kitchen. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole — ghee, citrus, herbs, salt, pepper — there's no need to scan labels for hidden spice blends that often sneak in unwanted additions. The optional garlic takes it in a slightly more savory direction, but even without it the lemon zest and dill carry plenty of personality. Make a jar on the weekend and keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks, ready to transform whatever lands on your plate.
