Looking for a classy dish to bring to that holiday weed-lovers’ potluck? Why not bring risotto infused with a little something extra!

Risotto originated in Northern Italy. Rice had long been a staple in the South, and after it migrated upwards, Northern Italians began cooking it in an entirely new way. Risotto first emerged in the early 19th century, though its inventor remains unknown. Risotto is made by cooking rice in a broth to a creamy consistency. It often includes wine, butter, and parmesan cheese. The word “risotto” comes from the Italian for “rice.”

Infusing it with cannabis, however, was an innovation of the 20th-century.
