For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter ghee. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme adds a lovely herbal note. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal. Be sure to use a light-colored pan when browning butter so you can see when it turns brown and avoid burning it.
