Sesame Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes simple weeknight meals feel genuinely special. The combination of fresh dill, lemon zest, and a hit of lemon juice cuts right through the richness of the ghee, creating something that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. Sesame oils and tahini have a way of sneaking into store-bought flavored butters and finishing sauces, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to stay worry-free. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which means you can spoon this generously over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice without a second thought. The technique is almost effortless — melt, whisk, and let it set — and within about thirty minutes you have a soft, spreadable ghee ready to go. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so one quick batch quietly upgrades your cooking all week long.
