Xanthan Gum Free Paleo Lemon Dill Ghee
Bright, herby, and deeply savory, this compound ghee is the kind of finishing touch that makes a simple piece of grilled fish or a sheet pan of roasted vegetables taste like something from a restaurant kitchen. Ghee brings a rich, nutty depth that butter can't quite match, and when you fold in fresh lemon juice, fragrant zest, and finely chopped dill, the result is something genuinely special. Every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward — no stabilizers, no fillers, nothing that would raise a flag for anyone avoiding thickening agents like xanthan gum. The technique is refreshingly simple: melt, cool slightly, whisk, and let it set. You can spoon it over cauliflower rice straight away or keep a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks, ready to rewarm and drizzle whenever dinner needs a little lift. It's the kind of condiment that quietly becomes a staple.
