Rosemary Lamb with Infused Herb Butter
A perfectly pink rack of lamb crowned with a rosemary-and-pine-needle butter. The pinene in your strain echoes the herbs at every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 frenched racks of lamb (~1.5 lbs each)
- 4 tbsp cannabis-infused butter, softened (~5mg THC per tbsp)
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make it
- 1
Bring lamb to room temperature, score the fat lightly, and season generously.
- 2
Mix infused butter with rosemary, thyme, and 2 cloves of garlic; refrigerate while cooking.
- 3
In a hot skillet, sear the lamb fat-side down until deeply golden (3–4 minutes), then sear remaining sides briefly.
- 4
Brush meat with Dijon and the remaining minced garlic, then transfer to a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10–14 minutes for medium-rare (internal 130°F / 54°C).
- 5
Rest the racks at least 8 minutes before slicing—this is when you place the herb butter on top to melt gently.
- 6
Slice between bones and serve with extra butter for dipping.
Cooking tips
- Resting the lamb under the cannabis butter is key—high oven heat would burn off the THC.
- Match a pinene-dominant strain like Jack Herer to magnify the rosemary and forest notes.
- Serve with roasted potatoes and a glass of botanical gin and tonic.

Why this pairing works
Pinene — in your strain and on your plate
Pinene is the terpene of the forest. It famously sharpens focus and counteracts the foggy edges of THC, making pinene-forward strains a great match for herb-driven, woodland-style cooking.
