Instructions
-
1Peel carrots and dice evenly. Roughly chop onion, finely grate garlic and ginger.
-
2Melt cannabis butter in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onion for 3 minutes until translucent.
-
3Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
4Stir in carrot cubes, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Toast for 2 minutes — this develops the flavors.
-
5Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until carrots are soft.
-

Pro Tips
- Stir cannabis butter in at the end of cooking to protect THC better — cook carrots in regular oil, use cannabis butter only to sauté the onions.
- Fresh ginger is irreplaceable — ground ginger gives only half the flavor.
- For vegan version: Replace cannabis butter with ZenOil.
