Golden Ghee
Imagine that your cooking oil tastes like butter. That’s basically the concept of ghee. Pure, unsalted grass-fed butter is melted to a point where the milk solids, such as casein and lactose, can be removed, leaving a golden oil that can be cooked up to 500 degrees F without burning. It’s highly regarded in India, where it is used to cook with but also consumed by the spoonful to aid in digestion. It also has a delightful balance of omega fatty acids.

Ingredients
- 2–4 sticks unsalted grass-fed butter
Instructions
- Cut each butter stick into 10 cubes.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until the butter separates and the milk solids fall to the bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. If you want a slightly nutty and rich browned-butter flavor, let the milk solids brown just slightly. Otherwise, remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam from the top of the butter.
- Strain the butter into a jar through several layers of cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer to remove all the solids.
- Cover the jar and store the ghee at room temperature for up to 3 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
