You can expect to fall in love with ghee when you first start using it. It’s unlike any other fat. It tastes great and is a perfect choice for cooking because of its high smoke point. Once you buy it or make it, you can keep it in your pantry and use it as needed. 

What’s ghee? Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originates from India. It’s made by simmering the butter, which removes the water and milk solids in it, leaving a product with a high-fat concentration.

Butter typically contains around 20 percent of water, so you’ll need a pound of butter to make 0.8 pounds of ghee. You can use it in any dish you now prepare with butter, from cooking and baking to drizzling over popcorn.

Ghee is a better choice for people sensitive to lactose and it’s considered a healthy choice of fat. Have you tried it yet?

Si on parlait cuisine ayurvedique ? Voici tous les secrets du #ghee aliment de base de l’ #ayurveda Le #ghee consiste à faire du beurre clarifié c’est à dire sans lactose et sans eau. Ce qui reste alors du beurre est un nectar excellent pour la santé. Le ghee rend « satisfait », il est très bon en cas d’inflammation, d’arthrose, il lubrifie, bon pour la souplesse, la digestion, la mémoire, pour booster le système immunitaire. Il apporte des vitamines A, D et E, du bêta Carotène, il baisse le taux de cholestérol. Il est bon en baume à lèvres et sur les blessures avec un peu de miel. On peut le verser sur les plats et le beurrer évidement sur nos tartines ! 2 à 4 cuillères à soupe par jour (davantage besoin en hiver qu’en été). Il se conserve à température ambiante – et non au frigo – dans un bocal en verre ou céramique. Il se bonifie avec le temps car il acquiert de plus en plus de vertus médicinales. Alors la recette …. 2 plaquettes de beurre de qualité non salé, une casserole à fond épais. Couper en gros morceaux et mettre sur feu doux et laisser 22/25 mns La mousse de lait va remonter à la surface. En fin de cuisson on verse le tout dans le bocal en filtrant à la passoire et on jette le résidu restant de la passoire. Le ghee se conserve au moins 2 mois ! Easy. Photo @mynewroots
