Instructions

1

Heat olive oil. Sear squid and shrimp hard for 2 minutes. Remove.
2

Stir in 1 oz (30g) cannabis butter. Sauté shallot and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3

Stir in rice. Toast dry until slightly transparent — 2 minutes.
4

Pour in white wine. Stir until absorbed.
5

Stir in squid ink — rice becomes deep black.
6

Add hot stock one ladle at a time. Always stir until absorbed. 18 minutes.
7

Remove from heat: Stir in remaining cannabis butter (1 oz / 30g) and Parmesan (mantecatura).
8

Return seafood. Serve with parsley and lemon.

Pro Tips

Cannabis butter divided: Half when sautéing, half at mantecatura — optimal distribution.
Mantecatura (stirring in at the end) is crucial for creamy risotto consistency.
Risotto doesn't wait — serve immediately.
