Gut Friendly Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, 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. Ghee is a cornerstone ingredient for anyone focused on gut-friendly eating — it's clarified to remove the milk solids that can irritate a sensitive digestive system, leaving behind pure, clean butterfat that's easy to digest and beautifully stable. The short ingredient list keeps things simple and intentional, with nothing hidden and no processed fillers to second-guess. A whisking technique and a gentle cool-down are all it takes to bring the flavors together into a soft, spreadable finish. Spoon it over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice and it transforms an everyday plate into something restaurant-worthy. The optional garlic adds a subtle savory depth if your gut tolerates it, but the recipe works just as beautifully without it. Make a jar on the weekend and you'll have a versatile, nourishing finishing touch ready to go for the entire week.
