Ingredients

1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups warm vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tbsp regular butter
4 tbsp cannabis-infused butter (~5mg THC per tbsp)
1 cup grated parmesan, plus more to serve
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp white truffle oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

How to make it

1
In a wide pan, melt 1 tbsp regular butter and sauté mushrooms over high heat until deeply golden; set aside.
2
In the same pan, melt remaining regular butter, then sweat onion until translucent, 4 minutes.
3
Add rice and toast 2 minutes, stirring. Pour in wine; let it absorb.
4
Add warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next (about 22 minutes total).
5
When rice is al dente, return mushrooms to the pan with garlic and thyme. Stir 1 minute.
6
Remove pan from heat. Stir in parmesan, then the cannabis-infused butter and truffle oil until silky.
7
Plate, finish with extra parmesan and a few drops of truffle oil.

Cooking tips

Adding cannabis butter and truffle oil off-heat preserves potency and aroma.
Pair with a heavy-myrcene strain like Granddaddy Purple or Skywalker OG.
For extra depth, soak 1/4 oz dried porcini in the stock first.

Why this pairing works

Myrcene — in your strain and on your plate

Myrcene is the most common terpene in cannabis and the engine behind many indica-style sedating effects. Earthy and herbaceous, it loves rich, slow-cooked, comforting foods.
