Cooking With Cannabis: Curried Sweet Potato & Salted Peanut Purée

Cooking With Cannabis: Curried Sweet Potato & Salted Peanut Purée

In this edition of Cooking with Cannabis, Chef Sebastian Carosi - the short -order cannabis revolutionary - gives The Bluntness his recipe for Curries Sweet Potato & Salted Peanut Puree.

Sweet Potato & Salted Peanut Puree

  • Servings: 4-6
  • Total THC/CBD: Depends on the potency of the products used
  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 1 hour

Note From Chef Carosi

As a former hippie and working professional chef with deep roots in the American Farm-to-Fork movement, it is great to see the cannabis plant move into the mainstream and onto the dinner table. This recipe utilizes not only cannabis-infused coconut oil, and cannabis-infused quality maple syrup, it also takes advantage of decarboxylated (activated) fresh kief.


Roasted sweet potatoes and salted peanuts mingle with curry paste and coconut milk to create an incredibly velvety smooth bowl of soup. Please don’t spend too much time with the sweet potato and yam debate… use whichever you choose.

Whether you use salted or roasted peanuts, they are going right in the pot to make this soup… After you let it simmer for a short 35-40 minutes, it is best to let this soup rest for 30 minutes or so before puréeing in a high-speed blender. Be sure to thoroughly purée the soup, making it velvety smooth. If you need to thin it out any, be sure to re-season every time you add liquid.

Although it may give a fall soup vibe, this curried cannabis sweet potato purée is best anytime you make it. I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I love an excuse to make copious amounts of cannabis-infused maple syrup lacquered bacon…!

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned.

Weed Makes Me Antisocial: Help!

Many people can relate to the experience of “hitting a wall” socially. Introverts, you especially know what I mean. But when self-enforced isolation is weed-induced, does that mean it’s time to reconsider a few habits or routines? Maybe even take a break from weed entirely?

Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen. Marijuana use, in particular, has occasionally been linked to various mental health and behavioral effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and antisocial behavior, while also being linked to alleviating these same symptoms. So it's important to understand how cannabis works with and for your body and needs.
