Cheesy, Baby...

I'm feeling cheesy. My man calls me Dork for a reason, and the fact that I love all things cheesy is a big reason why. But this cheesy delight I stumbled upon just seems to hit all the spots for a munchie delight. Crunchy, chewy, cheesy, salty and all sorts of yummy. I think great side dish would be epic with a huge crunchy salad and plate of pasta. So here's the scoop on this madman:

Cheesy Garlic Bread


It’s hard to beat a good piece of cheesy garlic bread but we think this does with a little bit of help from marijuana. When cooking with cannabis, you run the risk of it ruining the flavour of what you’re cooking. Not with this cheesy garlic bread, you’ll only notice the marijuana an hour to an hour and a half later (metabolism depending).

Ingredients:

Serves: 8
4oz Cannabutter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon garlic granules
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 (400g) loaf French bread, halved lengthways

Directions: 

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 12 mins

Preheat oven to 150 C / Gas 2.
In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic salt, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic granules and Parmesan cheese.
Spread each half of the French bread with equal portions of the butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Place bread halves, crusts down, on a medium baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned.

Veggies Veggies Veggies

Okay all you vegans and vegetarians out there. If you are all about the green, then I assume you smoke right? Hell ya better your response. ;D Anyways...If you are looking to have a great herbal dinner, try out this great veggie recipe. Here's the scoop:

 

Grilled Canna Vegetables

These veggies make a cracking side dish or you can cook them a stoney snack, which ever you prefer. The key to cooking cannabis in this recipe is steam. It allows you to cook marijuana without burning it. Burning the weed is what we want to avoid. 

Ingredients :

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed; or 2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups mixed vegetables, such as eggplant chunks; halved small yellow squash, zucchini, or patty pan squash; green beans; red onion wedges; and/or sliced yellow, red, or green sweet pepper
1 1/2 cups of high quality cannabis 

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 200C

In a medium mixing bowl combine the cannabis flowers, olive oil, garlic, rosemary or basil, and the salt.

Add the vegetables to oil mixture, tossing to coat. Spoon vegetable mixture onto a 24x12-inch piece of heavy foil. Bring opposite edges of foil together; seal tightly with a double fold. Fold in remaining ends to completely enclose vegetables, leaving a little space for steam to build, cooking cannabis.

Place the foil parcel in the oven for about 20 minutes. This will allow you cook marijuana and soften the vegetables. Turn the packet half way through to allow the veg to cook through.

Season vegetables to taste with fresh ground pepper. Makes 4 side-dish servings.

Bud Butter

Cannabis Butter Recipe

How to make weed butter is the first thing to learn if you’re keen to start cooking with pot. Depending what circles you float in cannabis butter can also be known as CannaButter, weed butter, pot butter, bud butter etc. Although there are a host of names, the recipe and the way we cook it is the same.

Below you’ll find the most comprehensive recipe for weed butter anywhere. Once you’ve cooked pot butter you’ll be cooking your favourite marijuana recipe in no time. So

Cooking/Storage Equipment Required:
- A grinder
- A stove to heat the marijuana butter.
- A medium sized heavy duty sauce pan/pot with lid.
- A measuring cup.
- A whisk or a large fork to mix the material with the water/butter solution in the pot.
- Cheese cloth to strain the material before cooling.
- A bowl large enough to hold and cool the Cannabis Butter material.
- A heavy duty plastic wrap to handle and compress the weed butter into a smaller, easier to handle shape.
- A freezable container to store the finished CannaButter.


Ingredients:
- 1lbs of unsalted butter.
- 2cups of water.
- 1 ounce of premium, middle or low grade Cannabis depending on strength preference

Preparation:
Firstly lets grind the Cannabis – Its needs to be nice and fine to make marijuana butter. I’d suggest using a coffee grinder for large amounts. Alternatively hand grinding the Cannabis will definitely help develop your technique!

Cooking:
Bring 2cups of water to a covered boil. Once the water is boiling, add your butter and melt it in the water. Reduce the heat and cover pan so the cannabis butter simmering.
Add the ground Cannabis material to the pan. Once you add the finely ground cannabis powder whisk and mix it into the pot thoroughly. Make sure the solution is nice and smooth, you don’t want any lumps in the pot butter crock pot.
Once added replace the lid and simmer on the lowest heat. It’s important when cooking pot butter that you don’t burn the bottom of the pan. This will really effect the taste of the CannaButter.

The CannaButter is now ready to simmer and cook for 22-24 hours. This amount of time is important. It is required to extract the THC from the Cannabis. Once finished take the cannabis butter off the heat.

You are now ready to extract the used Cannabis material from the CannaButter solution.
This is a really straightforward step, we’re just sieving all the little bits of cannabis from the solution, otherwise the cannabis butter will be full of bits.
Place the cheese cloth over an open bowl and ensure that when the liquid is poured through the cheese cloth will not go with it. Pour the cannabis butter solution into the large bowl.
In the cheese cloth you’ll have all the remaining bits of cannabis squeeze and extract as much of the solution from the cheese cloth and material as possible.

Cooling:
Place the bowl with the CannaButter solution into the fridge.
Leave it in the fridge until it has set, normally a few of hours. This will separate the fats from the water. The fat being our beautiful Cannabis Butter.

Removing Your Marijuana Butter and Storing:
Removing the CannaButter is tricky. You basically want to scrape out all of the pot butter that’s at the top of the bowl, leaving the water and other stuff at the bottom. Use a spoon or spatula.
Once you’ve collected all the cannabis butter discard the remaining liquid. Place the cannabis butter in air tight containers and place in the freezer (keeping the CannaButter fresh and the potency high).

Alternatively get cracking on those weed brownies, hash cakes and cannabis cookies you’ve been dying to cook! Oh and don’t forget to give the utensils a good licking, yummy!

The marijuana butter made in the recipe above can be used to make a whole host of things. Why not try some of our other recipes, maybe space cakes, weed brownies or even a hash cookie.
Or simply replace the butter in your favourite recipe with weed butter. Just make sure you tell your guests if you’re having a dinner party!!! Things could get a little out of hand!
 

Cannabis Oil

If weed butter isn’t your tipple why not give cannabis cooking oil a try. It does exactly the same thing as weed butter and many say is equally as potent. If anything cannabis oil is slightly easier to store than weed butter as you don’t need a fridge or a freezer. Once you make cannabis oil you can store it the same as any other oil, just pop it in the cupboard. Simple!

Storable cannabis cooking oil ingredients

1. 48 ounce bottle of Canola cooking oil
2. One large cooking pot
3. 1 ounce of nuggets or a quarter pound brick weed (or as much trim as you can fit in there.)
4. a metal wire strainer (to drain the oil)
5. a large funnel that fits in the cooking oil bottle

Instructions:

1. Empty the entire bottle of oil into the large pot.

2. HEAT on medium heat on stove until the oil it hot but NOT boiling...about 200 degrees, or just below boiling is great.

3. crumble up marijuana into shake, and pour seeds, stems, and all into pot.

4. keep stirring well about every 10 minutes or so for the next 2 hours. Do NOT allow the mixture to boil, but try to keep it hanging just below the boiling point. Make sure you don’t boil the cannabis oil, if it gets to hot the cannabis will burn and taste horrible.

5. After 2 hours, the oil may appear greenish, and possibly a little brown. This is normal as the resin has been properly extracted from the leaf products.

6. Let the oil cool for half an hour before this step. Carefully strain the cannabis oil through the strainer. Pour the cannabis oil into an equally large container - be sure to squeeze the weed well to get all the cannabis cooking oil out.

7. Funnel the oil back into the bottle and start cooking those lovely weed brownies!

Usage: Use sparingly, remember too much and you’ll be struggling to blink never mind walking or talking. A good rule of thumb is to do like for like with whatever you’re cooking. If it says 2 table spoons of oil, use two table spoons!

Just a bit of info...

Okay, so I have been posting up recipes for you and then it came to me that some of you might not know the basics so here's the scoop on some basic information you will need to know if you want to get started baking and cooking along side me:
 
Cooking with Marijuana

Most weed-related recipes call for the making of a certain quantity of "Marijuana Butter" or "Bud Butter", which is then used as a replacement for standard butter in a cooking situation. To prepare pot for eating it has to be heated in some way. It won't work if the weed is eaten without preparation, because the digestive system is unable to digest THC directly. When cooking with weed, it is very important to use fat (oil, butter, milk) because THC (the stuff that gets you stoned) is fat soluble and not water soluble. It is therefore impossible to get high from pot tea, for example, without adding some milk. Learn how to make bud butter


How to make Bud Butter

Cooking with weed offers an alternative to inhaling marijuana smoke to get high. By using "Bud Butter" in your recipes you can consume the marijuana in a tasty way.

Here's one recipe for Bud Butter:

Ingredients
1 lb. of butter (not margarine!)
1/2 ounce of finely ground marijuana

Method
Melt the butter in a sauce pan until it's simmering.
Add the marijuana and let simmer for 30 minutes or so until the butter has turned green from the marijuana.
Pour butter through a strainer to remove all the pieces of marijuana.
Chill until solid.


Methods of THC extraction

- butter
- cooking oil (soak in for a week)
- milk
- cream
- flour - Another method that doesn't require cooking is cannaflour. Grind the cannabis up as fine as you can get it, and mix it with the following ratio: for every cup of flour, mix in a half cup of powdered cannabis. Your final product is cannaflour, and you can use it in just about every baking recipe.
- weed - If you're in a hurry you can also do the following: melt some (dairy) butter in a pan and throw in some weed; stir a bit, and then fry an egg (or a pancake or whatever) in it. Don't throw the weed away, it will still contain some THC. Eat the egg or whatever you made. Sweet stuff (honey, syrup, marmalade) tastes good with weed.




What are the effects?

It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to even up to 4-5 hours for the effects to set in. The biggest problem here is to find the right amount. When smoked, the effects set in almost immediately, so it is easy to judge how much you need. After eating some weed, some users are too impatient, and they think they need more. While it is not possible to overdose on weed, the effects of eating too much cannabis are not pleasant. You may feel sick, confused, unable to move or talk, and your coordination may be heavily affected. These effects may last a long time, much longer than when smoked. It is therefore important not to eat too much. Start with a low dose, and increase it the next time, if needed. Experiment to find the right amount. If you eat too much, a high dose of vitamin c (200mg or more) may help to make you feel better.

When eaten, pot takes longer to work, depending on: the amount and quality of the weed/hash, the rate of your digestion system, and the amount of food you've eaten beforehand. For best results, we recommend not eating anything at least 2-3 hours before eating your marijuana.


How much weed do I use?

Since weed is not an "officially regulated" product it's hard to recommend an amount to use as the strength of the weed will vary greatly. Many people prefer to use "cabbage," or the leafy, low quality type of weed, in their cooking. Buds are usually reserved for smoking, but of course you're free to cook buds, but any cooking disasters will be a lot more expensive!

Trial and error is your guide here. If you're making bud butter, you might go through a few saucepans full of cabbage before the butter is green and smelly enough to be useful for cooking. It's a good idea to note down how much you've used so you know for next time.
