![[AD] Grilling season is here and today I’m sharing my fav Indian style grilled veggie skewers made with @trulygrassfed Ghee. I love using their dairy product, especially Ghee with clean buttery flavor. It is ideal for cooking, baking and perfect for sauteing because of its high smoke point, which is well above typical cooking temperatures that has most of vegetable oils.
When spring finally squishes wetly away and summer’s heat arrive in full force, we want to celebrate by spending as much time outside possible, why not cook and eat outdoor? Luckily, we have a practically endless number of recipe ideas. So made these veggie skewers and used Truly Grass Fed Ghee instead of oil or butter and let me tell you it taste so good, far better than grilled with regular cooking oil or butter.
The Truly Grass Fed products are non-GMO, growth hormone rBST-free* and antibiotic free, perfect for vegetarian diet and naturally lactose free. Their products include natural sharp cheddar cheese, natural aged cheddar cheese, naturally creamy butter salted, and naturally creamy butter unsalted are so good. #PairsWithYou #ChooseTruly
