From Leafwell – Medical Cannabis
There are few foods as comforting as mac ‘n’ cheese, and making it with cannabutter will likely increase the comfort levels (as long as you don’t use too much!). Here’s how to make it. For a vegan version, you can substitute milk for soya milk, the butter with dairy-free margarine or canna-oil (we recommend margarine in this instance, with a bit of oil for frying or dressing when needed), and the cheese for vegan cheese and nutritional yeast flakes. This recipe would make for about two to three servings.
Mac n Cheese from BRC Gastropub. Author: Texasfoodgawker.
Wet Macaroni/Cheese Ingredients
- 1/2 pound elbow macaroni
- Up to 1/4 cup of cannabutter — if using lower amounts of cannabutter, use some salted or unsalted butter to make up the rest (e.g., two tablespoons cannabutter to 2 tablespoons butter)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- One teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- One large egg
- 12 ounces sharp cheddar (or vegan equivalent), shredded, divided
- One teaspoon salt
- One teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional: chives, fried bacon, or vegan bacon for topping at the end
- Optional: many people like to add different cheeses alongside the cheddar, the classics being Gruyère, Emmental cheese, and Parmesan
Dry Topping Ingredients
- Up to 1/4 cup cannabutter for finishing — replace butter with salted or unsalted butter if using lower proportions of cannabutter
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Cooking Instructions
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees celsius, or gas mark 4).
STEP 2
Cook the pasta to al dente in a large pot of salted water. At the same time, melt the cannabutter.
STEP 3
While the pasta is cooking and in a separate med/large pot, add most of the melted cannabutter (but keep three tablespoons back). Whisk in the flour and keep it moving for about five minutes over very low heat. (Do not let it boil or simmer) Make sure it’s free of lumps. Stir in the milk and onion.
STEP 4
Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese—season with salt and pepper. You have essentially made a Mornay sauce! For a vegan version, you can skip the egg and add about 20g to 30g (approximately 1/10 or 1/8 of a cup) of nutritional yeast flakes and any vegan cheese you may be using. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
STEP 5
Melt the three separate tablespoons of cannabutter and/or regular butter in a saute pan, then toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for about 30 minutes or until topping is browned.
STEP 6
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
