Here we explain how to make cannabutter for your marijuana-infused meal and provide exciting recipes for your night of passion. (1)
Let’s get started.
How to Create Cannabutter
Before you can begin cooking scrumptious cannabis-infused dinner recipes, you need to prepare a batch of cannabutter.
Start by decarbing your buds in the oven or using the sous-vide method to activate the THC and CBD compounds. Once this crucial process is complete, you can begin making your cannabutter.
Follow these five steps:
1. Put one cup of unsalted butter into a pot with three tablespoons of distilled water.
2. Once the butter has melted, add ⅛ ounce of decarboxylated marijuana buds and mix everything together.
3. Leave the pot on high heat, allowing the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Pour the mixture into a container, using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any significant bits of weed.
5. Store your cannabutter in the fridge and consume it within 30 days.
This recipe creates ¾ cup of marijuana-infused butter. The strength of the mixture depends on the cannabis strain used. A cultivar with 20% THC will produce cannabutter with around 43 mg per tablespoon.
4 Marijuana-Infused Meal Recipes
After creating your batch of cannabutter, it’s time to combine it with some weed-infused dinner recipes.
Here are four delectable meals you can make for your partner that’ll put you both on cloud nine.
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
An appetizer will start your evening with a bang, whether you’re having a candle-lit dinner at home or a romantic picnic.
To prepare this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ oz. Cannabutter
- ¼ cup mozzarella
- ½ cup of chopped spinach
- ¼ cup of parmesan cheese
- 1 can of artichokes
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and place it in an oven at 350℉ for 20 minutes. Once your dip is ready, pair it with slices of toasted baguette or tortilla chips.
Crab Rangoon
Surprise your partner with a quick and easy meal that looks as good as it tastes. This Polynesian-style dish is a brilliant option for couples who enjoy eating finger food while gazing up at the stars.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this tantalizing meal:
- 2 oz. crab meat or your preferred alternative
- ¼ oz. cannabutter
- 1 chopped green onion
- 1 oz. cream cheese
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- 9 wonton wrappers
Combine the above ingredients in a bowl and preheat oil in a pot to 325℉. Put two teaspoons of filling in a wonton, wetting opposite edges of the wrapper, and folding it into a triangle.
Fry your wontons in the shallow oil for two minutes or until they’re golden brown. It’s also possible to use an air fryer to make this dish, cooking them for around nine minutes.
Butternut Salad
Vegetarians on the hunt for romantic valentine’s dinner ideas won’t go wrong with a luscious butternut salad. This meal is packed with fresh protein, and the weed element enhances its feel-good factor.
Below are the ingredients you’ll need to create this culinary masterpiece:
- ¼ cup of crushed walnuts
- 1 butternut squash
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- 4 cups of arugula leaves
- 2 cups of sliced baby kale
- ¼ oz. cannabutter
Roast the butternut in an oven at 350℉ until soft. Cut the squash, separating the orange core from the skin. Slice it into cubes and place them on a baking tray with cannabutter.
Put the cut squash back into the oven for 30 minutes until they develop a slight char. Once cooled down, put the butternut cubes into a salad bowl and mix it with the other ingredients. Drizzle your desired dressing when you serve this refreshing dinner.
Almond Lemon Bars
You can’t serve an infused dinner recipe without ending it in style. While cannabis brownies are always a hit, a batch of almond lemon bars is the perfect alternative.
To make this sensational weed-infused desert, you’ll need:
- ¾ cups of cannabutter
- 1 and a ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup of toasted almonds
- ½ cup of confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tsp of grated lemon zest
To create the crust, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and almonds in a bowl and mix until a crumbly texture. Pour the dough into a baking tray and leave it in the oven for 20 minutes at 350℉.
Next, whisk the eggs with sugar, lemon zest, and flour in a bowl. Pour the mixture onto the hot crust and leave everything to bake for another 25 minutes.
Leave the baking tray to cool, cut it into bars, and lightly dust with additional confectioner’s sugar.
