Ginger Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee brings serious flavor to just about anything it touches. The combination of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill gives the rich, clarified butter a lift that feels almost restaurant-worthy — and it comes together with almost no effort at all. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there's no need to scan labels for hidden spice blends or flavor extracts that so often sneak in unwanted additions. The optional garlic clove adds a gentle savory backbone, but the ghee is equally gorgeous without it if you prefer something a little more delicate. Once it sets to that soft, spreadable consistency, it's the kind of condiment you'll want to keep stocked in the fridge at all times. Spoon it over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice and it instantly elevates a simple weeknight plate into something that feels intentional and special. It keeps for up to two weeks refrigerated, so one quick batch does a lot of delicious work.
