Nutmeg Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee brings together the clean richness of clarified butter with the fresh punch of lemon and dill. It comes together in minutes on the stovetop, then sets into a silky, spreadable finish that feels far more luxurious than the effort involved. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, you never have to second-guess what's in it — no spice blends, no hidden fillers, just real food doing exactly what it should. Spoon it over grilled fish while it's still hot and watch it melt into every crevice, or stir it into roasted vegetables for an instant upgrade. The optional garlic adds a gentle savory backbone, but even without it, the lemon zest and fresh dill carry plenty of personality. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, so making a batch means you always have something special ready to finish a plate.
