Le beurre clarifié (Ghee) selon la méthode Ayurvédique

"Ghee is the foundation of Ayurvedic cuisine. It's clarified butter, meaning it has been heated and then filtered to remove anything that can't withstand cooking (lactose, casein), as well as its moisture. According to Ayurveda, ghee is the best fat for cooking because it's a saturated fat, which therefore remains stable when heated. Unsaturated fats (cold-pressed oils, for example) are a nectar consumed raw, but are not meant for cooking. Coconut oil is an exception and withstands cooking better. Properly filtered ghee keeps indefinitely at room temperature; it solidifies upon cooling. It's said that ghee that's a hundred years old possesses remarkable healing properties! You can find ghee in health food stores, but it's quite expensive and often has a rancid odor... It is It's very easy to make at home, it's cheaper, and your ghee will smell like a delicious Breton biscuit! You can use it for cooking, add it to your plate, and even spread it on bread. It's generally a hit with the whole family! Avoid storing it in the refrigerator (cold and humid) so that your ghee retains its Agni-regulating properties. To prepare the ghee, I gently heat 250g of unsalted organic raw butter, usually the Gaborit brand, as it's made with particularly digestible milk. Otherwise, I choose a good quality churned butter. A white foam will form; I wait for it to crystallize and for the sediment at the bottom of the pan to caramelize, without letting it burn. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours; it all depends on the cooktop (gas, ceramic, induction, etc.), the thickness of your pan, and the ambient temperature. Very gentle and slow cooking is best. Slowly. When it's done, I remove the saucepan from the heat and wait 1 minute before pouring the contents through a finely woven cotton cloth (a handkerchief, for example) placed over a jar; I discard the contents of the handkerchief. — Sandra Hoche Excerpt from the book ANTIDOTES by Sandra Hoche, published by 95 degrés. https://shop.vitaliseurdemarion.fr/an...
