Sweet potato tacos

Active: 25 minutes; Sous vide cook time: 1 hour; Servings: 4 to 6
Sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into ½-inch dice (about 4 cups)
1 ½ pounds
Chipotle chiles in adobe, chopped
3 to 4
Cumin, ground
1 ½ teaspoons
Salt, kosher
1 teaspoon + 
1 tablespoon
Canola oil
1 tablespoon
Corn tortillas, 6-inch
12
Pepper, freshly ground

Lime juice
½ lime

Sour cream
½ cup
Cotija cheese, crumbled
½ cup
Cilantro, chopped
Garnish
  1. Preheat your sous vide to 185°F. 
  2. In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, chiles, cumin, salt, and canna-infused oil until the potato pieces are evenly coated. 
  3. To ensure you bag sinks, place 1 to 2 pounds of weight into a gallon-size freezer-safe ziplock bag. 
  4. Add the potato mixture to the bag, and seal using the water displacement method. 
  5. When the water has reached the target temperature, lower the bagged potatoes into the water bath and cook for 1 hour. The potatoes are ready if you can crush them through the bag with a firm pinch. 
  6. Remove the bag from the water bath and transfer the potatoes to a plate, discarding the liquid; set aside. 
  7. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. 
  8. When the pan is hot, working in batches, heat the tortillas by placing them directly into the skillet and then waiting until they begin to steam and blister, about 20 seconds. 
  9. Flip them with tongs or a spatula, and cook the other side until they again begin to steam and blister, about 30 seconds. Depending on the size of your skillet, you can heat three to four tortillas at a time. 
  10. After each batch is heated, transfer the tortillas to a plate and cover them with a kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep warm. 
  11. When all the tortillas have been heated, and with the pan still over medium-high heat, add the remaining canola oil to the skillet, and then add the potato mixture. The pieces do not need to fit in a single layer. 
  12. Sauté, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until charred and blackened on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. 
  13. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and them add the lime juice. 
  14. To assemble the tacos, spread a small dollop of the sour cream onto the middle of each tortilla. 
  15. Divide the potato mixture evenly among the tortillas. 
  16. Top each taco with a sprinkle of cheese, cilantro, and pickled red onions. 
  17. Arrange the tacos on individual plates and serve with additional lime wedges and hot sauce.

Corn dog muffins

Active: 45 minutes; Servings: 24 mini muffins
Sour cream, full fat
2 tablespoons
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons
(22 grams)
Egg
1 large
Sugar, granulated
¼ cup (50 grams)
Corn, cream-style sweet
½ cup (128 grams)
Cornmeal, fine
½ cup (75 grams)
Flour, white rice
¼ cup (35 grams)
Baking powder
1 teaspoon
Salt, kosher
½ teaspoon +
¾ teaspoon +
Hot dogs, cooked, each cut into 8 pieces
3 dogs
Cream cheese, room temperature
4 ounces (115 grams)
Butter, unsalted, room temperature
4 ounces (115 grams)
Honey
1 tablespoon
Mustard, whole-grain Dijon
2 tablespoons
Pepper, freshly ground
½ teaspoon +
Parsley leaves, fresh
Garnish
Salt, Maldon sea
Garnish
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. 
  2. Coat a mini muffin pan with nonstick baking spray; set aside. 
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, olive oil, and canna-infused oil; whisk until well combined and emulsified. 
  4. Add the egg and sugar, and whisk again until well combined. 
  5. Add the creamed corn, and mix until just combined. 
  6. In a small bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and ½-teaspoon salt. 
  7. Add the flour mixture to the corn mixture, and whisk until just combined. 
  8. Equally distribute the batter among the 24 cups of the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each about two-thirds full (about 1 heaping tablespoon or 18 grams). For the most accurate dosage, weigh the total amount of batter and divide by 24 to determine the target weight per serving. 
  9. Press one hot dog slice into each cup, submerging it until the top hits the surface of the batter. 
  10. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown (like a corn dog), or until a toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out clean. 
  11. Remove the pan from the oven, and cool for 5 minutes. 
  12. Invert the pan over a wire cooling rack to remove the muffins; use a butter knife to help pop them out if necessary. 
  13. Let the muffins cool completely. 
  14. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a bowl and a handheld mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, and honey. 
  15. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula once or twice. 
  16. Add the mustard, ¾-teaspoon salt, and ½-teaspoon pepper. 
  17. Continue to beat on medium speed until well combined. 
  18. Dollop about 1-teaspoon honey mustard butter onto each corn dog muffin. 
  19. Finish with a touch of flaky sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and a garnish of parsley. 
  20. Transfer any remaining honey mustard butter to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Pimiento cheese & tomato tea sandwiches

Active: 30 minutes; Servings: 24
Cream cheese, room temperature
4 ounces
Pimientos, diced
2 ounces
Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons
Miso paste
2 tablespoons
Canna-infused coconut oil, room temperature
1 tablespoon +
1 ½ teaspoons
Garlic powder
¼ teaspoon
Onion powder
¼ teaspoon
Cayenne
Pinch
Pepper, freshly ground
Pinch
Cheese, Gruyère, grated
½ cup
Cheese, sharp cheddar, grated
1 cup
Salt
Tomatoes, heirloom, medium, preferable three different colors
3
Bread
6 slices
Herbs, fresh
Garnish
  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, combine the cream cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise, miso, canna-infused coconut oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and pepper. 
  2. Beat for about 1 minute on medium speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. 
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat once more. 
  4. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the cheeses, mixing until well combined; ensure you incorporate all the way from the bottom and up the sides of the bowl. 
  5. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. 
  6. Using a serrated knife, cut the tomatoes into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices; if your tomatoes are large, halve them vertically before slicing. 
  7. Place the tomato slices on paper towels to absorb some of the juices. 
  8. Lay out the bread slices. 
  9. Spread each piece with an equal amount of the cheese spread, about 3-heaping tablespoons (49 grams each), avoiding the edges where the crusts will be cut off.
(Chef note: For the most accurate dosage, weigh the total amount of the cheese spread, and divide by six to determine the amount to spread per slice.)
  10. Arrange three to four tomato slices on top, partially overlapping and alternating colors. 
  11. Cut off the crusts. 
  12. With the long side facing you, halve each piece of bread vertically, then on the diagonal, so you end up with four equal triangles. 
  13. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy! 
Chef's notes:
  • On my first attempt, I used an 8.01% total THC & 9.53% total CBD balanced bud with my canna-infused oil. With James as my novice cannabis user and test subject, I asked him hourly about his reaction. He ate two full slices, which equals eight appetizer servings. He ranked his high around 10 to 20 percent after an hour. Closer to 70 percent after 2 hours. He's a bit sleepy but still fully functionally after 4 1/2 hours!

Sous vide canna-infused oil

Active: 15 minutes; Sous vide: 4 to 6 hours + 4 to 6 hours
Cannabis, premium such as a sativa or CBD-dominate strain, ground
7 grams (¼ ounce)
Butter or coconut oil, melted
170 grams (6 ounces)
  1. Set your sous vide to 197°F. 
  2. Vacuum seal your cannabis ingredients in a food-safe plastic bag. 
  3. Immerse the sealed bag in the hot water, and simmer for 4 to 6 hours to decarboxylate; simmer longer for larger quantities. 
  4. Lower your sous vide to 185°F. 
  5. Remove the bag from the water bath, dry with paper towels, and carefully open one end. 
  6. Pour the melted oil into the bag, squish around to mix, and reseal. 
  7. Immerse the sealed bag back in the hot water, and simmer for 4 to 6 hours; simmer longer for larger quantities. 
  8. Remove the bag from the water bath, and let cool for 5 minutes.
  9. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl and line the strainer with a triple layer of cheesecloth.
  10. Pour the cannabis mixture, using a spatula to scrape and press the solids.
  11. Gather the cheesecloth and give it a good squeeze to ensure you get all the oil extracted; discard the leftover debris.
  12. Label the jar with the date and contents. 
  13. Refrigerate to cool, keep refrigerated for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
