Mustard 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 minutes on the stovetop, then firms into a silky, spreadable finish that elevates just about anything it touches. Spooned over grilled fish or roasted vegetables, it melts into every crevice and delivers a clean, citrusy punch that store-bought flavored butters simply can't match. Because ghee is naturally free from the hidden additives and emulsifiers that sneak into many condiments, you get a pure, wholesome result without any label-reading anxiety. The optional garlic adds a gentle savory depth, but even without it the lemon zest and fresh dill do serious heavy lifting. Keep a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly — it's the kind of finishing touch that makes weeknight dinners taste intentional.
