Paraben Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee brings together the clean richness of clarified butter with the zip of fresh lemon and the grassy lift of dill. It comes together in minutes on the stovetop, and the result is something that feels far more special than the effort involved. Because it's built entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients — ghee, citrus, fresh herbs, and simple seasonings — you sidestep the synthetic additives and preservatives that sneak into so many store-bought flavored butters and finishing sauces. That matters a lot when you're trying to keep your kitchen genuinely clean and free from unnecessary chemical compounds. Once it sets to that soft, spreadable consistency, it's endlessly versatile: spoon it over grilled fish straight from the pan, let it melt into roasted vegetables, or stir it through cauliflower rice for an instant flavor upgrade. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, so you can make one batch and reach for it all week long.
