What are the best foods to cook with weed?

Putting weed in food can feel overwhelming at first, especially for beginners. You can add cannabis to almost anything, but some recipes are a better fit if you're just getting into edibles. Here are some great places to start:

Cannabis recipes for beginners

1. Weed mac and cheese: Rich and creamy comfort food with a cannabis kick.
2. Cannabis chicken wings: Crispy and full of flavor, great for lunch or dinner.
3. Weed brownies: Sweet and delicious, perfect if you want a dessert with a pleasant buzz.

If you want something even easier, you can go with ready-made cannabis products like gummies, chocolates or drinks. Whether you love to cook or prefer the convenience of store-bought edibles, there's plenty to choose from.

Cannabis breakfast for beginners

You can also ease into cannabis cooking at breakfast. Here's an easy recipe for working weed into the first meal of the day.

Peanut butter and cannabis honey toast

Having weed with breakfast is easy with this recipe. Make sure the cannabis is properly decarboxylated (heated to activate the THC) and infused into the honey for the best flavor and effect.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (any kind you like)
• 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon of cannabis honey

Tools:

• Toaster
• Knife

Directions:

1. Decarb the weed: Preheat the oven to 110 °C (230 °F). Spread your ground buds on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. This activates the cannabinoids.
2. Infuse the honey: Mix the decarbed weed with coconut oil in a glass jar. Set the jar in a pot of water over low heat for several hours to infuse the oil. Then stir the cannabis oil into the honey for a sweet, potent infusion.
3. Make the toast: Toast two slices of bread. Spread one with peanut butter and the other with cannabis honey. Feeling adventurous? Put both on the same slice.
4. Enjoy: The sweet-and-salty combo is a treat, and the cannabis honey brings a nice dose of euphoria to start your day. Go easy with the first spoonful until you know how strong your batch is.

These recipes are a great way to start experimenting with edibles: tasty, with effects you can keep under control. Enjoy your cannabis cooking adventures!

Weed in food: a solid lunch

Cannabis caprese salad

For a fresh, uplifting lunch, a cannabis caprese salad is a great pick. With cannabis-infused olive oil, you can turn a classic salad into a delicious infused dish.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium Roma tomatoes
• 150 g (5 oz) of mozzarella
• 120 g (4 oz) of fresh basil leaves
• 60 g (about 1/4 cup) of cannabis olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
• Salt
• Pepper

Tools:

• Medium serving platter
• Salad servers

Directions:

1. Make the cannabis olive oil: In a slow cooker, combine already-vaped bud (AVB) and olive oil. Cook on low for 4-8 hours so the cannabinoids infuse into the oil. Strain the mix through cheesecloth and you've got cannabis olive oil.
2. Prep the salad: Wash the tomatoes and basil. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella thin.
3. Build the salad: On a platter, layer the tomato and mozzarella slices, alternating them. Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the top.
4. Dress the salad: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and cannabis olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away.

Cannabis recipes for dinner

After a long day at work, nothing beats unwinding with a delicious, relaxing dinner. If you want something simple and comforting, cannabis pasta is the move. It pairs the comfort of homemade pasta with the mellow effects of THC or CBD, whichever you prefer.

Cannabis pasta: a cozy dinner

Cannabis pasta is a great way to enjoy weed without a ton of work in the kitchen. Go with THC olive oil for a stronger experience, or CBD olive oil if you want a relaxing dinner without the high. Here's how to make it.

Ingredients:

• 220 g (8 oz) of pasta (your choice)
• 500 g (1 lb) of cherry tomatoes
• 200 g (7 oz) of feta cheese
• 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 120 g (4 oz) of fresh basil leaves
• 60 g (about 1/4 cup) of cannabis olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Tools:

• Large baking dish
• Medium saucepan
• Aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Make the cannabis olive oil:
   • If you don't have cannabis olive oil on hand yet, follow the caprese recipe above to make it. Use already-vaped bud to make an oil infused with THC or CBD.
2. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392 °F). While it heats up, put the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add the feta:
   • Set the block of feta in the middle of the dish, surrounded by the tomatoes. Pour a generous amount of cannabis olive oil over everything. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
4. Cook the pasta:
   • While the tomatoes and cheese bake, bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan and cook the pasta however you like it. Drain it once it's al dente.
5. Mix and serve:
   • After 35 minutes, pull the dish out of the oven and toss the cooked pasta with the tomatoes and cheese. Stir gently until everything's evenly combined.
6. Finishing touch (optional):
   • Want a little extra? Drizzle a small amount of raw cannabis olive oil over the plate when you serve it. That bumps up both the flavor and the effect, so go by your tolerance.

With this recipe you get a cozy, satisfying dinner that also helps you unwind after a long day. Enjoy your infused dinner!
