• 1/4 cup all purpose flour

• 1 cup (7 oz./220 g) Quinoa

• 6 cups (48 fl. oz./1.5 l) low-sodium chicken broth

• 4 cups (4 oz./125 g) kale, stemmed and chopped

• 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms

• Sea Salt, to taste

• Squeeze of lemon juice

• Pinch of red pepper flakes

• Freshly ground pepper

• Grated Parmesean

TOOLS

• Large stockpot
• Knife and cutting board
• Large mixing spoon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Warm 1 TBSP of the butter into a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
2. Add the sausage and brown all sides for about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
3. Add remaining butter and infused butter. Once it simmers, add the chopped onion, peppers, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring frequently, about 1 minute.
4. Make the Roux: Add 1/4 flour to butter and vegetables, stirring constantly until vegetables and butter make a paste. Continue to cook for about 3 minutes. Flour will begin to brown into a golden color.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes while stirring often.
6. Pour in the Quinoa and the broth. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Then partially cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
7. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove the lid. Cut the sausage links into 1-inch (2.5cm) slices and return them to the pot. Add the kale and mushrooms. Continue simmering for 5 minutes or more until the kale has softened to your liking.
8. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt and pepper until the flavors really sing. Note that you might need up to 1/2 teaspoon or more of salt depending on your vegetable broth and personal preference. Divide into a bowl and top with grate Parmesan cheese.

Note: Be sure to use a gram scale when using infused butter, potency always varies with each batch, however, WCM consistently tests ours at @ 9-8 mg THC/ gram.

Reminder: Foods prepared with canna-butter can provide long-lasting, effective relief for many conditions and symptoms. When medicating with edible products, remember that a little goes a long way and the effects can take up to an hour to be noticeable. Start with a very small portion (1-inch square brownie, for example, or one small cookie) and wait to feel the effects before ingesting more. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
