Cannabis-Infused Miso Glaze
In Japan, this miso-based sauce is called dengaku, and is usually served as a glaze for grilled eggplant. If you haven’t tried it before, prepare to meet your favourite new BBQ sauce.
Miso is an ideal sauce for grilled foods, combining umami undertones with a deep sweetness that caramelizes with heat. This already magical combination gets even better when you use it to season food fresh from the charcoal grill, adding a hint of smoke to the whole affair.
We recommend brushing this glaze on cooked food, like a simple roasted eggplant or grilled tofu, then broiling it on the top oven rack until it begins to bubble (about 3-5 minutes).
