Cannabis-Infused “Emerald Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Pea Purée”


Rack of lamb is classic, elegant, and absolutely realistic. Pea purée is naturally emerald green and very Irish-adjacent without being gimmicky. This is fine-dining steakhouse energy done properly — no novelty, no chaos, just clean technique and controlled infusion.

Rack of lamb has long been associated with celebratory meals in Ireland, especially during spring when lamb is at its peak. The combination of fresh herbs, green vegetables, and tender roasted meat reflects the season and the landscape. Instead of turning the protein itself into the infused vehicle, we control dosing through a cannabis-infused herb oil brushed into the crust and folded lightly into the pea purée — giving precise, measurable portions.
