Pro Tips
- Hünkar Beğendi means 'the Sultan was pleased' — a dish with history (19th century, Ottoman court).
- The eggplants MUST be charred over an open flame — the smoky flavor is the signature element of this dish.
- Warm cannabis butter into the finished sauce — béchamel is creamy enough for optimal THC absorption.
