It’s cool. It’s a lovely book, featuring many beautiful photos and all kinds of recipes. These three recipes appear in it, and will fit perfectly in your careful, Cannabis, holiday entertaining. Remember that when it comes to Cannabis, less is more. Same with alcohol I guess. No need to overdo – keep potency low and enjoy. Should you decide to infuse some butter or oil, go to our website LaurieandMaryjane.com for a step by step of the infusion method of your choice. Or email me – I’m happy to answer any food related questions. I don’t like to say happy thanksgiving anymore, but I do hope that if you have a meal with family or friends, you remember that we all deserve the same things in this world, and we need to be nicer. It can be really rough out there.
2 servings FONTINA TART
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted according to package directions 3 tablespoons canna-butter 1 leek, peeled and thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1 teaspoon thyme 2 cups mushrooms, trimmed and sliced 6 slices bacon, cooked lightly and chopped 1 ½ cups grated or chopped Fontina cheese salt and pepper ¼ cup chopped scallions
16 servings SALMON SPIRALS
2 cucumbers, ends cut off 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon canna-butter 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 4 ounces smoked salmon 4 tablespoons mayo 1 scallion, cut in pieces 2 tablespoons chopped dill 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ½ teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons capers
1. Place the cucumbers on your work surface. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cukes the long way, trying to cut the length of the cucumber. Pat the slices dry with a clean dish towel or paper towels. 2. In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, salmon, mayo, scallion, dill, lemon juice, pepper and salt. Pulse until semismooth consistency is reached. 3. Spread each slice with the spread, 1-2 tablespoons each. Sprinkle with the capers. Tightly roll each slice. The slices will stay together due to the spread. Place on a serving tray and enjoy. 1. Heat oven to 340˚F/171˚C. 2. Place the puff pastry on a floured work surface and roll out an additional 1-2 inches. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill. 3. In a large sauté pan, heat the butter. When temperature is relatively hot, add the leek, garlic, and thyme and sauté until tender, 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and place ingredients on a plate. 4. Add the mushrooms and cook until done, 7-9 minutes; their liquid will release, simmer away, and turn golden with sautéing. 5. Spread the onions, mushrooms, and bacon over the pastry. Sprinkle with the cheese and follow with the salt and pepper. 6. Bake until the cheese is melted, and the tart is golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining scallions.
