Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with medium graine rice, which should be rich in starch. This recipe comes from the Verona area, since top quality rice is widely found there, as well as the other main ingredient of rissoto, cheese. In Italy, rissoto is defined as “minestra asciuta“, which means dry soup and indicates that the resulting preparation must be neither dry nor too liquid, but with a creaminess that allows to use a fork.

Risotto, along with pasta and pizza, are probably the three flagship dishes of Italian cuisine. Despite the main ingredient of today’s recipe is rice, we are going to use it as a vehicle to transport the rest of flavours that we want to incorporate to the dish. You can use a wide range of ingredients to complement your rice, the only thing to keep in mind is to achieve a correct balance between the different flavours. Thus, you can use vegetables, seafood, poultry meat, bush meat, guts, spices, wines, etc.

Bhang Lassi is a very popular drink in India both for its aromatic smell and relaxing, spiritual effect. It is an ancient cannabis preparation enriched with seeds, spices, honey and milk which has been used for centuries in this amaing country. In this article we explain you how to easily prepare it at home!

Bhang Lassi and cannabis

The popularity of this beverage has its origins in the Hindu religion and is associated with the cult of Shiva: the followers of this goddess used – and still use today – to smoke Bhang (which means “cannabis” in Hindi language) in the temples dedicated to Shiva, also charas (which is hashish obtained by rubbing fresh plants with the hands). Without a doubt, sadhus are the most famous among the followers of Shiva, religious “holy men” who wander along the temples with their traditional clay chillums.

Cooking with cannabis encompasses a wide range of different preparations, from sweet to salty foods, in solid or liquid form.

There is a wide variety of recipes in the cannabis kitchen: from traditional recipes such as the renowned Space Cake (THC sweets) which are distributed in medical marijuana clinics in the USA, to fresh marijuana juices which have wide-ranging health benefits. Today we present you with a traditional recipe: a homemade brioche or bun, made with eggs and stuffed with Dawamesk – a marijuana resin based paste – which was used in the Middle East ages ago and approved by the Club des Haschischins at the end of the 19th century. This recipe is a tribute to the Haschischins and to our grandmothers’ cakes that we used to enjoy in the winter evenings (without cannabis!).

Dawamesk, marijuana marmalade

Dawamesk is a type of marmalade made of pistachios, fat, honey and cannabis

The origins of this eastern recipe are uncertain. Intake of marijuana in different forms was common: bang lassi, dawamesk, dorvanesk… This practice led to the emergence of several legends about marihuana, such as that of the Old Man of the Mountain, of whom it is said that he used these recipes to manipulate his soldiers by making them eat large quantities of cannabis without telling them that they were taking cannabis.

In Europe, it was not until the 19th century when Dawamesk was studied for the first time by a pharmacist (M. Louradour in 1842). The recipe of this cannabis marmalade may vary. Usually, it contains honey, pistachio or almond flour, fat and hashish. Its powerful effect triggered the interest of a group of intellectuals who were known as “Le Club des Hashischins“, who used to meet to use marijuana and experience its new and unknown effects in order to inspire their meditation practice and other exercises of intellectual nature.

The Cannabis Kitchen

Food is a great way to consume both medical marijuana or cannabis for recreational use. This method avoids the harm caused by combustion when smoking (and mixing it with tobacco), giving a more longer lasting effect than when smoked.

Sweets with marijuana and chocolate

In this article we will explain how to make marijuana sweets that can be easily preserved with the use of clarified butter, the preparation of which we explain below.

Clarified Marijuana Butter

Clarifying butter

Butter consists mostly of lipids, but also contains some protein (casein) and carbohydrates (lactose). By clarifying butter we recover the fatty part that interests us for extracting cannabinoids from the marijuana plant. This technique, easy to perform, will concentrate more active ingredients in the butter, but, above all, will improve its heat resistance and conservation.  Continue reading →
