Pecan Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes simple weeknight dinners taste like something special. The combination of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill brings a clean, vibrant lift to the rich, nutty base, while a hint of garlic adds quiet depth. It comes together in one small saucepan with just a few minutes of active effort, then sets into a soft, spreadable consistency that feels almost luxurious. Spoon it over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice and the whole plate transforms instantly. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there are no hidden additives or shared-facility concerns to navigate — just pure, clean flavor. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so you can make a batch on Sunday and reach for it all week long. A gentle rewarm over low heat brings it right back to a silky, pourable finish whenever you need it.
