Cannabis Infused Eggplant Rice Okra

I wish life was all brownies, cookies, and tall cold glasses of kool aid but I'm pretty sure I'd take 30 years off my lifespan if I lived that way. What I really love about this recipe is the warm and earthy combination of the cannabis, roasted eggplant, okra, and brown rice.

This recipe doesn't use cannaoil when roasting the eggplant because the high temperature gives the eggplant that nice caramelization that adds to the flavor profile of the whole meal. Vegans and meat eaters just may come together and bond over this animal product free, nutrition packed, made with love, and cannabis!

I love how this dish looks and smells while gently sautéing until the flavors have the chance to blend together a little bit. I only wish I had added some red or yellow peppers when I was preparing this recipe, I could only imagine how beautifully flagrant this would be had I had those ingredients on hand.

This is a great option for those who are into meal planning or for those who like to make food ahead of time and freeze for later. You can literally start working towards keeping your freezer full of reheat ready edible homemade TV dinners perfect for when you are tired, hungover, not feeling great physically or mentally. Just made sure to keep away from children and properly label all edibles with the date that were made, date packaged, milligram content, cannabis strain used, clear states contains cannabis and that it is not for children.
