What To Cook With Ghee

Now that the weather has started to turn and the nights are drawing in, there’s no better way to spend the time than by hitting the kitchen and whipping up some amazing winter warmers, dishes that make you feel snug and cosy, no matter what the weather does outside.

Hearty food is always a must at this time of year, but if you’re looking to mix it up a little and want to try something new, why not see how you could incorporate Indian ghee into your cooking this winter?

Ghee is an amazing all-natural alternative to butter and other cooking oils and it’s the perfect choice for anyone with a dairy sensitivity, since it’s both casein and lactose-free.

Home chefs will also hold it in great esteem because it has a much higher smoking point than most cooking fats out there, which means it stays stable even at very high heats - and this makes it a joy to work with.

There are also just so many recipes you can make with it! We’re talking sweet, we’re talking savoury, we’re talking everything in between… whatever you want to make, you can bet that ghee can be used to help you create your next big culinary masterpiece.

So what to cook? Well, if you’ve got something of a sweet tooth then these chocolate chip cookies made with brown butter ghee could be just the ticket. Deliciously nutty plump little cookies!

For those of you short on time but in need of a snack, what about making banana with ghee and cinnamon? This would be perfect for this time of year, as we all start to feel a bit more festive on the approach to December.

Or if you’re in the mood for a main course, what could be better than some amazing Italian garlic scallops? These are easy to scale up so you could have them as a starter if you’re in a hurry or on top of some pasta or in risotto for a more filling meal… all featuring delicious ghee, of course.
