Demi-Glace Cannabis

Ingredients

• 2 L 2 L Beef stock
• 1 piece 1 piece Onion
• 2 piece 2 piece Carrots
• 2 tbsp 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tbsp 1 tbsp Cannabis Canola Oil
• 100 ml 6.8 tbsp Red wine
• 2 tbsp 2 tbsp Cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1
   Roast bones: 2kg beef or veal bones (preferably marrow bones + leg cuts) at 428°F (220°C) in the oven for 45–60 minutes until deep brown and fragrant. Not black — bitterness is not correctable. In parallel: dice carrots, onions, celery (mirepoix) roughly, in a heavy pot with Cannabis Oil (Cannabis Oil has the ideal smoke point of 160–347°F (175°C) for searing) roast vigorously until everything is dark brown.
2. 2
   Espagnole (brown stock base): To the roasted vegetables: add 3 tbsp tomato paste and roast together for 2–3 minutes (caramelizes the tomato acidity away). Add roasted bones. Pour in 3 liters (3L) cold water (cold! — yields clearer sauce). Bring to a boil, skim foam. Then: thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, parsley stems. Simmer on lowest heat for 4–6 hours. Never boil — it clouds the sauce. Regularly skim foam and fat.
3. 3
   First reduction: Strain everything through a fine sieve (discard bones and vegetables). Return stock to clean pot, now reduce to 1/3 of original volume. This takes 2–3 hours on medium heat. Do not cover — evaporation is desired. The sauce becomes increasingly dark, silky, and concentrated. When it lightly coats a wooden spoon: correct.
4. 4
   Final reduction to Demi Glace: Pass reduced stock once more through finest sieve or cloth. Now reduce to 1/2 of this volume. The Demi Glace is ready when it: thickly coats a spoon (nappe consistency), sets to jelly when cooled, and is high-gloss dark brown. In the final phase: whisk in 2–3 tbsp Cannabutter under 158°F (70°C) (monte au beurre) — adds shine, body, and cannabis potency. Do not boil after adding butter.
5. 5
   Storage & use: Distribute Demi Glace into ice cube trays and freeze — you always have individual portions on hand. Keeps 3 months in freezer. Use: 1–2 cubes in pan sauces (steak, lamb chops), as a base for soups, for risotto, in pasta sauces. Each ice cube (≈15ml/0.5 oz) contains one cannabis dose — perfect dosage control.
