cannabis FEATURING Exclusive Chefs COOKING WITH
Chefs Greg Chapin, Mike Richardson & Dennis Hicks
An......ticipation This is generally the time of year when we get a little relief from the summer sun and watch the autumnal colors blossom from their heated hibernation that has ended. Each year as we enlarge our mind palaces, one of the best gifts you can give is yourself. The journey you take is better than any present. I remember being with a group feeding the homeless. They gave of their time and resources, but me being me, I convinced them that with creativity and a little more effort, we could give them something far beyond just one experience, we can give them a memory! We created the full Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim dinner, complete with waitstaff dressed in top hats and tails and children singing on the lawn. It’s funny how spirit-warming a memory can be on a cold night for the giver as well as the receiver. With the help of a "Deep Space 9 Indica preroll" you can put together a personalized holiday basket that will be remembered longer than a Rolex. You might even find some of that magical childhood giddiness. Visit us @ myexclusivechefs.com/events.

Cajun “Deepspace” Cannabutter Injected and Smoked (literally) Tom Turkey Brine: (don’t be afraid, it’s just submerging a thawed turkey in water, this actually seasons the meat and locks in juiciness) 1C. salt (we like kosher salt which has a less salty flavor) 1 ½ C. white sugar 6 Qts water (depending on size of turkey) Dissolve sugar and salt in water by using your household hand whip Other flavorings can be used such as garlic, mirepoix (celery, carrot and onion), bay leaves, lemon etc. Add whole turkey and brine for 24 hrs. “Deepspace” Cannabutter: (any flower can be used) One to One Recipe - 1C. Shake or Flower / 1C. Butter (Plugra is a European brand that has a higher fat
content and overall better butter flavor)
Clarified butter: a technique that brings butter to a rolling boil until the milk solids separate and fall to the bottom on the pot. You can easily pour off the clear liquid and use that for the crock pot method for cannabutter. This technique also allows the cannabutter to flow
freely through a store-bought BBQ injector. This step can also be omitted, and one could baste the bird or spray with cannabutter as well, but injecting is fun and flavors the meat itself. Remove from brine and just inject into the breast at multiple spots as well as the legs, no rules here just adding flavor to the meat. Rub- Fancy name for a mix of spices that gets rubbed on the meat before cooking, again flavor is subjective, but here’s what we like: ½ T. Cayenne pepper, 1t. Oregano, 1t. Granulated garlic, 2T. Hungarian hot paprika (or, you can use smoked paprika if you do not have a smoker), 1t. White pepper. After you have brined, injected and rubbed, cook turkey in a smoker, oven or grill. You can wrap wood chips with foil that is poked with holes and place just under the grates of the grill that have the flame. Only light one side of your grill and put the turkey on the indirect heat side, cook until 165’ at the breast and 175’ at the leg. Spray or baste every hour with cannabutter, if skin gets too dark cover with foil. Happy Cooking! Message us on facebook or Instagram for further insight!
