Black pepper, pine and warm spice.
Nutmeg and pepper together, which is most of what a squash dish wants. Rare enough in the catalog that you are unlikely to be choosing flower for it.

These are the lightest compounds in the plant and they leave first. Decarbing costs you most of them before the fat is even involved — the coolest step on the schedule is 200 °F, and that is already well past where they start moving. If this is the aroma you want, it has to come back into the dish from somewhere else: fresh zest, fresh herbs, a spirit, stirred in off the heat.
Pure sabinene boils at 163 °C / 325 °F. That figure is the isolated compound at atmospheric pressure, not a threshold in a pan. Dissolved in fat it leaves gradually and the butter holds some of it the whole way — which is why the band above is the number to plan around and this one is only a bearing.
The same compound is in black pepper, nutmeg, juniper and carrot seed — which is the short version of why these pairings work. You are not matching a flavor to the cannabis, you are adding more of something the flower already tastes of.
Buttermilk biscuits under a peppery milk gravy built on sausage drippings. The gravy thickens on the stove with plain fat, and the infused butter is stirred in at the end off the heat.

Butter, parmesan and starchy pasta water beaten into a sauce that clings to the noodles. Heat is the enemy: too hot and the emulsion splits into grease and grit, stranding most of the dose in the oil.

Mayonnaise, buttermilk and soft herbs whisked into a pourable dressing. Because it is spooned onto an individual plate, each person decides their own serving, which is the most forgiving arrangement there is.

Cupcakes solve the portioning problem a layer cake creates, and putting the infusion in the cream cheese frosting solves the heat problem — frosting is never cooked, so nothing is lost on the way.

Canned tomatoes cooked down with onion and garlic, blended smooth, then finished with cream and a slug of olive oil once the pot is off the burner. Ladling measured bowls is what keeps the servings honest.

From StrainTrackr. Each of these breeders named sabinene on their own product page — a claim about their cultivar, not a lab result. Most strains have no terpenes published at all, so this is a sample of what is documented rather than a ranking of what is strongest.
