Cannabis Edibles for the Christmas Table 2018

Not sure what kind of dishes to serve at your Christmas dinner?

Why not make it a truly “Green Christmas?” And by that, we mean Christmas cannabis edibles!

The first thing you should do is check out our Thanksgiving post. We talk about how to make your own cannabis turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry and orange relish sauce. You can use those same recipes on Christmas Day.

We’ve also included three new recipes in this post. But before you get started on making cannabis edibles for the Christmas table, here’s one thing you need to do first…

Get a Hold of Cannabis Butter and Cannabis Olive Oil

For these recipes, you’ll need either cannabutter or cannabis olive oil.

Unfortunately, under Nevada law, you’re not allowed to make your own cannabis edible products.

The good news is that you can legally purchase Cannabella olive oil and Evergreen Organix cannabutter from our dispensaries. Just call or text us ahead of time to make sure we have ‘em in stock!

Once you’ve gotten a hold of these two essential ingredients, you can start on the recipes below!

Prime Rib With Cannabis Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri Sauce Ingredients

(adapted from Munchies, serves 20)

• 1 quart of parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup of fresh garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes
• 2 teaspoons of dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 2 cups of canola oil
• 1 cup of regular olive oil
• 1 cup of cannabis-infused olive oil

Prime Rib Ingredients

• 15 lb. bone-in prime OR choice rib eye, tied with butcher’s twine
• Salt and pepper

Mix all the chimichurri sauce ingredients in a large bowl.

Rub the rib eye with salt and pepper. Leave in the fridge, uncovered, for ten hours or overnight. Remove from the fridge and let it sit for two hours before cooking.

Set the oven at 275 degrees. Cook the rib eye for 3-4 hours, or until internal temperature is 110 degrees for rare or 120 degrees for medium-rare. Tent with foil and let it rest for 30-45 minutes.

Remove twine and slice the ribs off along the bone. Slice thin, top with chimichurri sauce, and serve.

Ingredients

• 10 packets of cinnamon roll instant oatmeal
• 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp of baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of cannabutter
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup of white sugar
• 1/4 cup of water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter and sugar in a large bowl and stir until the consistency is creamy. Add two eggs and beat them in. Stir in flour and baking soda.

Add oatmeal packets and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until the dough is mixed evenly. Make small, round balls out of the dough and put them on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

Pecannabis Pumpkin Pie

(adapted from The Weedist, serves 8-10)

Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

• 1 uncooked 9” deep-dish pie shell
• 1 cup of organic pumpkin puree
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Pecan Topping Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves
• 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons of melted cannabutter
• 1/2 teaspoon of organic pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all the pumpkin pie ingredients in a large bowl.

Once mixed, pour batter into pie shell. After you’ve finished pouring, jiggle and tap the pie crust to get rid of all the air bubbles.

Place pie in the oven and let it bake for 20 minutes.

While the pie is baking, mix the melted butter, pecans, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

Remove pie from oven and add a single layer of pecan topping. Place pie back in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let it cool, then serve.

Happy Feasting and Happy Holidays!
