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