Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Set your infusion strength

Tell the site how strong your butter or oil is and every recipe rewrites its ingredient amounts to match.

SauceStandard

Marinara sauce

A long-simmered tomato sauce with the oil stirred in at the very end. Freeze it in portions and it doses pasta, eggs or pizza for a month.

Masala chai

Spices simmered in water, milk added after, infused fat whisked in off the heat. Nothing in it ever boils once the dose is in.

SnackLow

Movie night popcorn

Popped in plain oil, dressed in infused oil afterward. Popping temperatures are far too hot for an infusion, which is why almost every recipe that pops in cannabutter wastes most of it.

DrinkStandardNo smell

Mulled apple cider

Spiced cider warmed on the stove, with the infusion whisked in off the heat. A pot that serves a group, portioned into mugs rather than ladled freely.

MainStandard

Mushroom risotto

The butter goes in at the end, off the heat, beaten hard into the rice. That final step is a technique risotto has always used, and it happens to be ideal for an infusion.

No-bake peanut butter cups

Two layers, a muffin pan and a freezer. No oven, no smell, and the dose lives in the filling where you can measure it exactly.

BreakfastStandard

Olive oil banana bread

An oil-based loaf rather than a creamed-butter one, which makes it forgiving, one-bowl, and easy to slice into even portions.

Overnight oats

Assembled in a jar the night before, eaten cold. No heat anywhere in the process, which makes it the gentlest thing on the site for an infusion.

Salted honey oat bites

No oven, no smell, five minutes of work. The easiest thing on this site to make and the easiest to dose evenly, because nothing bakes unevenly.

MainStandard

Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

Skillet cornbread

Baked in a hot cast-iron pan for a crisp edge. A sturdy, savory way to carry a light dose to a dinner table.

Spiced hot chocolate

Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.

Spinach artichoke dip

A hot, savory dip for a table where nobody wants dessert. The infused oil is folded in before it goes to the oven and the bake is short and gentle.

SideLow

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.

Whipped feta dip

Salty, thick and ready in five minutes. The oil goes in last and gets whipped right through, which is what keeps the dose even across a shared bowl.
