Elaboración paso a paso
- Preparation of your cannabis dinner
- Sear the cheeks: To achieve a tender texture, heat a large pot with olive oil. Season the meat and brown it well until it has a rich, toasted color. Once nicely colored, set aside. This first searing is key for giving the stew character.
- Winter or holiday veggie base: In the same pot, add the onion, leek, carrot, and garlic. Sauté over medium heat until golden and sweet. This base gives a deep, festive aroma.
- Red wine and holiday spices: Add the red wine and let it reduce by half. Then incorporate the honey, thyme, and bay leaves, and return the cheeks to the pot. Cover with broth.
- Slow cooking: Cover and cook on very low heat for 2 hours (or 35 minutes in a pressure cooker). The cheeks are ready when they can be cut with a spoon. Remove the vegetables, puree them, and stir them back into the sauce for a shiny, silky consistency.
- Creamy holiday mashed potatoes: While the cheeks finish cooking, boil the potatoes until tender. Add butter, cream, salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. Mash everything until very smooth and dense. The mashed potatoes are perfect for soaking up the sauce and balancing the dish.
- Cannabis touch (Add raw at the end): Just before serving, drizzle ½ to 1 teaspoon of cannabis oil over each portion. Stir lightly so the fat distributes the flavor. This preserves the cannabinoids and lets you control the potency of your cannabis dinner.

Tips for a safe and delicious cannabis dinner
To ensure that all guests enjoy the cannabis dinner responsibly and have a pleasant evening, here are some helpful tips.
- Always add cannabis oil at the end and raw: cannabinoids degrade with heat.
- Do not mix high doses with alcohol: cooked wine is mostly evaporated, but avoid combining with strong liquors.
- Inform guests which dishes are infused: it’s recommended to always provide a heads-up to prevent confusion or potential issues.
- Adjust the dose according to tolerance: less is more, and you can always add gradually until the desired effect is reached. Cannabis oil is easier to measure than infused butter.
- Serve moderate portions and avoid repeated servings too quickly.
