Macadamia Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes a simple weeknight dinner feel genuinely special. Clarified butter gets lifted with fresh lemon juice, fragrant zest, and a generous handful of chopped dill, creating a sauce that's rich without being heavy. A whisper of garlic and a pinch of sea salt round everything out into something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. It comes together in minutes on the stovetop and sets into a soft, spreadable consistency right on your counter — no fancy technique required. Spoon it over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice and watch it melt into every crevice. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, you never have to second-guess what's in it or worry about hidden additives lurking in a store-bought flavored butter. A jar keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, so you can make one batch and elevate meals all week long.
