Cannabis-Infused Recipes for Your Summer BBQ

Classic summer barbecues offer an ideal opportunity to take advantage of fun, light flavors as well as the carefree atmosphere of sitting in your backyard at a table. For people interested in adult-oriented cannabis culture, adding cannabis-infused foods to their favorite BBQ dishes adds interest to their traditional fare; however, it’s essential to keep the recipes simple, measured and reasonable.

At Weed Wonderland, we always recommend starting with quality-controlled cannabis products from a trusted source. When choosing products for your BBQ that include CBD or have cannabis inspiration (i.e., “cannabis-flavored”), select products that clearly label what they contain, test each batch to ensure consistency in quality and provide flavor profiles that work with the foods you will be cooking.

1. Citrus Cannabis BBQ Glaze

A citrus-based glaze pairs perfectly with many of your favorite summer foods; e.g. grilled chicken, halloumi cheese, shrimp/prawns, roasted vegetables. Use orange juice, lemon zest, honey, mustard and some smoked paprika. Combine all the ingredients that you want to use to make this citrus glaze, then add it to your chosen compliant cannabis product once it has cooled down to room temperature (off the heat). This citrus glaze is an excellent choice for those who prefer their food on the lighter side, but still have great flavor. As with most things made from herbs, avoid exposing the cannabis ingredients to high heat. The heat can cause the herbal flavors to become bitter.

2. Herby Garden Dip

A non-baked recipe to infuse your food in a healthy way – try making an easy-to-make yogurt based dip with Greek Yogurt, Cucumber, Mint, Parsley, Garlic, Lemon Juice. The last step is to add your Cannabis Ingredient after all other ingredients have been added. Use this as a side dish to grill flat breads, veggie kebab’s or BBQ Potato’s. This is a great choice for new users to cannabis infused foods since no cooking is required and the flavor will stay fresh.

3. Tropical BBQ Salad Dressing

For a fruity side dish, combine mango puree, lime juice, olive oil, chilli flakes and a pinch of salt. Stir in your cannabis product just before serving. Pour it over grilled corn, peppers, avocado or a crisp summer salad.

This kind of dressing is perfect if you want a cannabis BBQ recipe that feels more modern than the usual heavy sauces.

Serving Tips for a Safe Summer BBQ

Be careful driving after eating Cannabis. Give your guest’s small samples of Cannabis infused foods. Tell them how long it takes for the effects to take place.
