Soy Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee transforms simple weeknight dinners into something that feels genuinely special. The combination of fresh lemon juice, zest, and dill gives it a clean, vibrant punch that pairs beautifully with grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or spooned over cauliflower rice. Because ghee is made from clarified butter with the milk solids removed, it's naturally free from soy — no label-scanning required, and no hidden additives to worry about. The technique is refreshingly simple: melt, whisk, and let it set to a soft, spreadable consistency that looks elegant in a little jar on the table. A small optional garlic clove adds a savory backbone if you want it, but the lemon and dill carry the flavor beautifully on their own. Make a batch on Sunday and you'll have a finishing touch ready to elevate everything you cook for the next two weeks — just rewarm gently and it's good as new.
