This rich creamy cannabis risotto makes a great edibles entree when paired with a simple salad.
Apple Parmesan Cannabis Risotto Variations:
Substitute bacon for the pancetta to make this recipe a bit more economical. Or leave out the meat altogether for a vegetarian cannabis risotto.
You can also use this recipe as a cannabis infused side dish, albeit a rich side dish.
I use cannabutter to infuse the risotto. Make Making Marijuana Butter tutorial will show you how make it.
A note about the Dosage for the Apple Parmesan Cannabis Risotto Recipe
This recipe will have about 40 mg THC per serving IF you made your marijuana butter from average cannabis (10% THC) and used 1/2 ounce of marijuana to make 1 cup butter. To adjust the dosage up or down for your personal needs and to reflect the strength of the marijuana you are cooking with and the amounts you used to make your butter, be sure to take my FREE 10 minute online Dosing Class that will teach you how to do it, or use my handy dosage calculator tools that do all the math for you (see below).
