Use concentrates to infuse the Marijuana Corn Chowder
Hash and Kief
Use decarboxylated Kief or Hash to infuse this recipe. Find more information on how to make and cook with kief and hash at this link.
Roasting Green Chiles
You can use canned green chiles, or roast your own.
If you want to roast your own chiles, here are several methods. Place washed and dried green chiles:
- directly over the flame of a gas stove
- on a charcoal or propane grill over high heat
- under a boiler
In all cases use tongs to turn peppers frequently until blackened on all sides. Place hot roasted chiles in a closed paper bag for 10 minutes. When you remove them you will be able to easily peel with your fingers. Remove seeds and stems (sounds familiar), chop and use in recipes.
A note about the Dosage for the Marijuana Corn Chowder recipe!
This recipe will have about 80 mg THC per serving IF you used decarboxylated average kief (40% THC). That's a pretty large dose for most people. Likewise you might consider cutting it in half, our even by a quarter.
To adjust the dosage up or down for your personal needs, and to reflect the strength of the kief you are cooking with, 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).
