Ingredients
4 tbsp infused butter
Set your infusion strength above and this splits into infused and plain butter to hit whatever dose you want.
- 1½ lbgreen beans — trimmed
- 3garlic cloves — thinly sliced
- 1 tbsplemon juice
- ¼ cuptoasted almonds — sliced, optional
- salt and black pepper
Method
- 01
Boil the beans in well-salted water until crisp-tender — four minutes, no more.
4 min
- 02
Drain and tip straight into ice water to stop them cooking. Drain again and dry them well; wet beans will not hold butter.
- 03
Warm a large pan over low heat, add the infused butter and the garlic, and let the garlic soften without taking any color. Low heat throughout: this is a warm pan, not a hot one.
2 min
- 04
Take the pan off the heat, add the beans and toss until every one is coated and glossy.
- 05
Finish with lemon, salt, pepper and the almonds, and divide into six portions.
Built on
Standard blanch-and-toss vegetable side: blanch until crisp-tender, shock, then toss in fat off the heat.
Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

Sweet potato fries
Roasted hot in plain oil, tossed in infused oil after. Roasting temperature is about twice what an infusion tolerates, so the dose goes on at the end.
