Greetings, culinary adventurers! Today we venture into the fragrant and exhilarating world of Thai cuisine, but with a surprising twist. We’ll be making a traditional Thai Green Curry, but this one comes with a dash of serenity, courtesy of an infusion of CBD oil. This aromatic dish beautifully blends the flavors of the East with the potential wellness benefits of CBD. This hearty meal is just the thing for a soothing supper after a long, bustling day.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion, chopped.
3 cloves garlic, minced.
1 inch piece of ginger, grated.
3 tablespoons green curry paste
1 cup diced eggplant.
1 cup sliced bell pepper.
1 cup sliced zucchini.
1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
2 teaspoons fish sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons CBD oil
1 cup chopped fresh basil.
Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by heating the coconut oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the heated oil. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, ensuring that the flavors start to mingle.
- Stir in the green curry paste and sauté for another minute to allow the spices to ‘bloom.’ This aids in releasing the robust flavors embedded within the paste.
- Introduce the diced eggplant, bell peppers, and zucchini to the pan. Sauté the vegetables until they start to soften.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine all the flavors. If you prefer, add fish sauce for an extra layer of umami. Remember, the kitchen is your playground, and you are the master of flavors!
- Stir in the sugar and lime juice. Reduce the heat and let your curry simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender to your liking.
- Turn off the heat and stir in your CBD oil. You’ll want to do this after the cooking is done to preserve the quality and effectiveness of the oil.
- Season with salt according to your preference and stir in the fresh basil for that invigorating herbal touch.
- Serve your Thai Green Curry over jasmine rice or with warm naan bread.

The rich, creamy texture of the curry combined with the soothing effects of the CBD oil creates a culinary experience that truly caters to body, mind, and soul.
