If you’ve read Nourished Kitchen for any length of time, you know just how much I value wholesome, nourishing fats – and you might also know that even beyond pastured lard, ghee (a type of clarified butter) is – beyond a doubt – my favorite fat for cooking.  Many of the healthy, nourishing  recipes featured on my site make moderate to heavy use of ghee.  It’s remarkable for cooking: very stable even at relatively high temperatures and it imbues a subtle, almost nutty fullness to foods that enriches them without overpowering their natural flavor; moreover, ghee, like grass-fed butter, is deeply nourishing – a potent source of conjugated linoleic acid.

It’s truly lovely – and even GAPS-friendly as milk solids such as casein and lactose have been gently removed through a natural, traditional clarification.  This also means that ghee, like olive oil, is shelf-stable and does not need refrigeration.  I keep my ghee in my kitchen cupboard – and use it with a heavy hand.

This week, I’ve teamed up with Pure Indian Foods (fan them on Facebook), to offer a fantastic – and very generous – giveaway.   Pure Indian Foods will be giving away a beautiful package of Organic, 100% grass-fed ghee to a Nourished Kitchen reader.  The winner will receive six 7.8-ounce jars of Organic, 100% grass-fed ghee plus a sampler pack of herbal/flavored ghee – a value in excess of $83.  I first enjoyed the privilege of trying Pure Indian Foods herbal ghee at the most recent Weston A Price Foundation conference.  We enjoy Indian Dessert (a combination of fennel, cardamom and saffron) melted gently into our morning soaked oatmeal porridge, but their version of niter kebbeh (an Ethiopian flavored ghee) is intensely, and beautifully flavored and is, beyond a doubt, my favorite of their flavors.
