Seasoning Mixture and Basic Recipes - Ghee

Ingredients

• 450 g/1 lb/2 cups unsalted butter

---

Method:

1. Heat the butter in a pan, stirring until the butter has melted. When the solids (whey) appear at the bottom and the clear part (ghee) is at the top, reduce the heat to low.    

2. Continue to stir over a low heat until light brown. Turn off the heat and keep stirring so that it does not boil over.  Allow to cool slightly.

3. Put a muslin (cheesecloth) cloth over a container or jar and pour the butter through the cloth so that the ghee strains through into the container.

4. Squeeze the remaining ghee from the cloth and discard the residue. Leave to cool then put the lid on the container and keep until required.
