Instructions

  1. 1
    Soak saffron in 2 tbsp warm water for 10 minutes.
  2. 2
    Melt regular butter in a wide pot. Simmer shallot until translucent, 3 minutes. Add carrots, leek, celery, and fennel, gently sauté 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Deglaze with white wine, bring to a boil, reduce by half. Stir in fish broth and saffron water. Simmer 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Stir in cream. Add fish pieces, poach gently over low heat for 5 minutes — do not boil, just gentle poaching.
  5. 5
    Add shrimp, cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  6. 6
    Stir in cannabis butter in small flakes — it will emulsify in the hot broth. Do not bring back to a boil.
  7. 7
    Serve in deep bowls, sprinkle parsley on top. Baguette for dipping.

Pro Tips

  • Stir in cannabis butter at the end — residual heat is enough, higher heat would break down THC.
  • Waterzooi also works with chicken instead of fish — Poulet à la Gantoise is the land version.
  • Do not boil fish, just poach — too much heat makes it dry and causes it to fall apart.
  • Real Ghent chefs debate it: saffron yes or no. Both are authentic.
