Elevate Your Culinary Experience with Homemade Cannabis Infused Curry Ketchup
I think we all know that condiments can elevate simple foods to something truly amazing. Infusing condiments is one of the best ways to easily elevate a dish without having dose the entire meal. So this week, I’m taking us on a flavourful journey into the world of homemade curry ketchup—a cannabis-infused condiment that promises to add a unique twist to your favourite dishes. This episode is part of a series that delves into the intersection of food culture and cannabis, aiming to empower home cooks to create safe and effective edibles. Let’s dive into the details and explore how you can make this delightful condiment at home.
What is Curry Ketchup?
Curry ketchup is a spiced-up version of traditional ketchup, infused with the warm and fragrant notes of curry powder. This tangy and slightly spicy condiment is particularly popular in Germany and the Netherlands, where it is often served with dishes like currywurst and French fries. Having spent some time in German, I came to appreciate this much loved condiment.
Recipe for Homemade Cannabis Infused Curry Ketchup
Luckily, this is a straightforward recipe for making curry ketchup. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
Tomato paste: The base of the ketchup. Curry powder: For depth and warmth.
White vinegar: To add acidity and balance. Agave syrup or honey: To enhance sweetness.
Cannabis-infused avocado or grapeseed oil: The special ingredient that elevates the ketchup. A medium onion and garlic: For flavor.
Detailed Cooking Process
The cooking process is simple and can be broken down into a few easy steps:
Heat the Cannabis Oil: In a medium pan over medium to medium-low heat, warm the cannabis-infused oil. This step is crucial for creating an infused condiment, and Margaret encourages listeners to start with a low dose to gauge their tolerance.
Add Onion and Garlic: Chop the onion and garlic, then add them to the pan. Cook until softened, allowing the flavors to meld with the oil.
Stir in Tomato Paste: Add the tomato paste to the pan and deglaze with a bit of water. This helps to create a smooth base for the ketchup.
Add Vinegar, Curry Powder, and Sweetener: Pour in the white vinegar, curry powder, and agave syrup or honey. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Cook the mixture for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Blend Until Smooth: Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste-test the ketchup and adjust the flavors as needed. Margaret suggests letting the ketchup rest for a bit to allow the flavors to meld, which can enhance the overall taste.
Dosing and Potency
The recipe I followed yields about 79mg of THC per tablespoon, but individual results may vary based on the potency of the cannabis used. If you’re new to edibles, always start with a low dose and adjusting according to your tolerance.
Serving Suggestions
Once your curry ketchup is ready, there are countless ways to enjoy it. Here are some serving suggestions:
Classic Comfort Foods: Pair the curry ketchup with French fries, bratwurst, burgers, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Dips: Use it as a dip for chicken tenders, roasted vegetables, or even mozzarella sticks.
Creative Twists**: Add a dollop to scrambled eggs, use it as a base for BBQ sauce, or mix it into meatloaf for an extra kick.
