Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock, warmed
• 2 tablespoons cannabis butter (adjust amount depending on desired dosage)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or portobello), sliced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Warm the stock in a small saucepan and keep it on low heat. This will ensure the broth is ready as you cook the risotto.
2. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3: Toast the Rice

1. Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring continuously to coat it in the mushroom mixture.
2. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly. This step enhances the nutty flavor of the risotto.

Step 4: Deglaze with Wine

1. Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until the liquid has mostly absorbed into the rice.

Step 5: Cook the Risotto

1. Begin adding the warm stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring often to ensure the rice absorbs the liquid evenly. Wait until the liquid is almost fully absorbed before adding the next ladle.
2. Continue this process for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still slightly al dente. The mixture should have a creamy consistency.

Step 6: Infuse the Risotto

1. Once the rice is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cannabis butter and unsalted butter until melted and well combined.
2. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the risotto is creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Divide the risotto into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Pair it with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Dosage Guidelines

To control the potency, calculate the strength of your cannabis butter beforehand. For example, if your butter contains 10mg of THC per tablespoon and you use 2 tablespoons in the recipe, the entire dish will contain 20mg THC. Divide accordingly based on servings. Adjust butter quantity if needed for a milder or stronger result.
