Recipes built around Pinene
Cannabis Pesto Pasta
A vibrant basil-pine-nut pesto blended with infused olive oil. Bright, fresh, and ready in 20 minutes.
Rosemary Lamb with Infused Herb Butter
A perfectly pink rack of lamb crowned with a rosemary-and-pine-needle butter. The pinene in your strain echoes the herbs at every bite.
Pine Nut, Arugula & Pesto Pizza
A wood-fired-style pizza with herbaceous pesto base, fresh arugula, and a snowfall of pine nuts. The finishing infused-oil drizzle ties it all together.
Rosemary & Pine Nut Cannabis Flatbread
Crispy, paper-thin flatbread brushed with infused rosemary oil and showered with pine nuts. The most piney recipe in the catalog.
Thyme & Sage Roasted Chicken
Golden roast chicken rubbed with herb butter under the skin and finished with infused pan-jus. Deeply herbal, deeply pinene.
Shaved Fennel & Orange Pinene Salad
Crisp fennel, juicy oranges, and crunchy pine nuts dressed in an infused herb vinaigrette. A pinene primer for any meal.
Pork Gyoza with Cannabis Ponzu
Crispy-bottomed dumplings filled with seasoned pork and napa cabbage, served with a bright ponzu dipping sauce infused with cannabis citrus oil. Pinene's herbal sharpness cuts through the richness.
Duck Confit with Cannabis Herb Butter
Slow-rendered duck legs crisped to lacquered perfection, finished with a fragrant herb butter infused with cannabis. Pinene's resinous notes echo the rosemary and thyme tucked into the butter.
Shakshuka with Cannabis Herb Oil
Eggs poached in a spiced tomato-pepper sauce — a Middle Eastern breakfast icon. A finishing swirl of cannabis herb oil carries pinene's bright herbal clarity through the smoky cumin and paprika.
Paella Valenciana with Cannabis Saffron Oil
Saffron-scented bomba rice with chicken, rabbit, and green beans — the original from Valencia. Cannabis-infused saffron oil deepens the golden crust (socarrat). Pinene's herbal brightness mirrors the rosemary and snails of tradition.
