The Cannabis Kitchen - Cooking With Cannabis

Here's one of the things I did with those Canna infused Caramelized Onions. I made my favorite grilled cheese and caramelized onion sandwich.

Start with a good loaf of baked bread (not sandwich bread from the convenient store. We want thick slices of fresh baked if possible)
Cut the slices about 1" thick, then slice them down the middle evenly.
I have Provolone cheese slices, shredded mozzarella with a little bit of grated parmesan cheese in it (not pictured), butter, and the onions.

I use a wire rack to put the slices on after buttering one side of each. This makes it very easy to lift the constructed sandwiches onto the grill pan without getting butter everywhere. Keep that rack handy....
Butter one side of each bread piece liberally and flip them over. Put one half slice of Provolone on one side of each half sandwich. Then layer the onions on that, and top with the mozzarella/parmesan mixture.
Put the top piece of bread on and transfer them to the grill pan.

Grill each side to golden brown. They are a tricky one to flip, so be careful. I use a wide spatula under them with one hand and my fingers of the other hand to hold the top piece in place when I flip it.

You don't have to slice the bread pieces in half, it's just something I like the look of. It will be easier to construct and transfer/flip with full slices. Whatever you like.....

Transfer them to the same wire rack to rest a minute or two. If you transfer them right to a plate, the underside will get soggy from the steam inside.

Finally....enjoy!

Great "samich" idea Cannafan. I like both grilled cheese and caramelized onions but would have never thought to put them together.

This is on my to do list.:high-five:

You are going to love them! I have one left over, wrapped in foil to warm up tomorrow. Won't be as good as fresh off the grill pan...but it will still be worth it.

So.....I've got egg yolks left over (I only used the egg whites in the Nug-Nog), some lemons, cannabutter ......and I have a plan.

Tomorrow should be fun. :cheertwo:

Lunch! This is what I did with most of the rest of the Canna Caramelized Onions.

French Onion Soup with Canna Caramelized Onions

Gawd...this was soooooo good.

(In case anyone is wondering, I'm using the ganja cooking as an opportunity to practice food styling photography as well)

Great warmth in this photo :)

If you want to make money off of " food styling photography " you might need to turn that label around for product placement revenue.

Thank you Radogast. :)

The label......I was thinking the Miller Lite label would draw attention away from the sandywich. :laugh:
The hardest part of the food styling...well two things really...is having proper props (plates, glasses....table stuff) and trying to hold or place reflector cards for the lighting without accidentally tumbling them into the food. Ask me why I'm concerned about that.......yep...did it twice on a pasta recipe. I had roasted tomatoes and garlic stuck everywhere.

I'll be stopping regularly at Goodwill and such looking for those unusual plates and stemware etc. on a regular basis.

My phone camera is fairly limited for what I want to do as well.

Thanks for the input!

Here's what I did with the Lemons, egg yolk...etc. Btw, if you don't want to toss the yolks after separating eggs, keep them in the fridge mixed into a little water for 2 to 3 days. They won't dry up that way.

I have Lemon Curd and Ganja Lemon Curd:

I have some dipping chocolate, powdered sugar, and a lemon glaze made up. Also some pâte à choux.

Any guesses on what I'm going to do with all of that?

Close DrZiggy.....but not those. :) Hope to have these things done tomorrow and I'll post some pics.

Considering a thread name change to something like "The Cannabis Kitchen - Cooking with Cannabis" Or "The Ganja Kitchen"....

:rofl: I have watched every single one of his "Good Eats" episodes. I have to say some of his "homemade" cooking equipment ideas were mind boggling, and not something I would do. But I learned a ton of info from his shows.

Warning! If you aren't allowed sugar....don't look!!! :laugh:

Here are my Canna Eclairs and Cream Puffs.

The dipping chocolate and lemon glaze both have rum in them.

Some of them have the canna infused lemon curd and some regular lemon curd filling. The pastry dough is made with cannabutter for all of them.
Some are double hitters with the infused pastry and lemon curd....but there's more. Triple hitters are made with canna lemon curd, pastry dough, and canna sugar sprinkled on top.

Brother is popping over in a bit, so he's taking some home. These are delicious! but I have to limit myself because of the sugar. Everything in moderation.

Thank you Sir. :Love:

This week has been a great success....I stayed baked while I baked. :laugh:
 
I made some cannabutter the other day and ended up making two batches of brownies. I had a little bit of butter left over, not enough for much, but definitely enough for sprucing up a meal. Tonight the lady and I made Steak Ums for dinner. I looked at the spare butter and asked her "how about some caramelized, cannabutter onions on your cheese steak?" You should have seen her face light up. She loved it. Wouldn't have thought about that had it not been for you Cannafan! Reps!

:thanks: I am so happy that you two enjoyed it. :) Caramelized onions freeze well too, I made more yesterday and froze some.

I found a neat trick, put them in a freezer bag and pat them down into a layer about a half inch..no more than that. Freeze them, and when you need a portion just break off a section of the "pattie". ;-)

I have a sizzler steak waiting for me this weekend, you gave me an idea for a topper on it. And Saturday morning will be kicked up waffles for breakfast. :circle-of-love:
 
{{not exactly on a noisy beach......}}

I love the smell of roasted garlic in the morning!
