Spicy Corn Bake Made With Cannabis
Cedella Marley, daughter of reggae legend Bob Marley, combines the healing properties of cannabis with her wellness regimen in Cooking with Herb. Note: This recipe requires Cannabutter.
This sweet, creamy, rich corn dish is a party favorite at my house. It brings a more sophisticated and refined quality to an Herb party—serve it with a kale salad and maybe the Snapper Escovitch or a piece of grilled jerk chicken and you have a fine meal that could be served in any restaurant (but yours is better because it is made with love . . . and Herb!).
8 servings (5mg THC per serving)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grate three ears of corn on the medium holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Hold the remaining ear of corn upright and use a large sharp knife to slice from top to bottom, removing the kernels from the cob. Add the kernels to the corn pulp. Whisk in the egg, then add 1 cup of the milk, the cornmeal, sugar, cayenne, 1⁄2 cup of the cheddar, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside.
- Heat 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of the butter and the CannaButter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the scallions, jalapeños, Scotch bonnet, thyme, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the scallions are soft, about 2 minutes.
- Stir the flour into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes golden, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup milk, stirring occasionally, so you don’t get any lumps, then remove from the heat. Add the mixture to the corn mixture, whisking to combine.
- Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a 11⁄2-quart baking dish with the 1 tablespoon softened butter. Scrape in the corn mixture and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheddar and continue to bake until the edges are set and the center is just barely set (but a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve
