Tree Nut Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee transforms simple weeknight proteins and vegetables into something that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. The combination of fresh lemon juice, zest, and chopped dill gives the finished butter a clean, vibrant flavor that cuts right through the richness of the ghee base. Because it starts with just a handful of whole, unprocessed ingredients, there are no hidden additives or mystery oils to worry about — what you see on the list is exactly what ends up in the jar. Spooning it over grilled fish or roasted vegetables while everything is still hot lets the ghee melt into a glossy, fragrant sauce in seconds. A small garlic clove is optional but worth it if you want a little extra depth. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so one quick batch means you have a finishing sauce ready to go all week long. It's the kind of condiment that quietly makes everything taste more intentional.
