Published

on

Fans of the HBO series Game of Thrones have waited an entire year for this moment—this weekend, on Sunday, July 16, is the launch of the second-to-last season. A few of us here at CULTURE are huge fans of the show, and even though we are very, very ready to see what’s been happening over in Westeros, there is never enough preparation to get you through a season of Game of Thrones without a shock or two.

One trend that has kept true through the show’s multiple seasons are cleverly themed and parties, especially those of the first-episode variety. You could just order pizza and play Game of Thrones bingo while you watch the first episode—or you could celebrate with these legitimate cannabis-infused, show-themed edibles. Don your favorite House garb and enjoy these simple but delicious drink, meal and dessert recipes.

WALDER FREY’s MINI POT PIES

We only need one name for this description: Walder Frey.

Ingredients:

3-4 sheet puff pastry

3 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil

3 pounds chuck steak, cut into cubes

2 yellow or white onions, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

4 cups beef stock

1 cup red wine

1 ½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons water

A 12-muffin tin

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Once hot, add in half of beef and sear the exterior and remove. Repeat this step for the second half of beef, and set aside.
  3. Turn heat to medium, add in more olive oil, and sauté onion and garlic, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add beef to the onion and garlic mixture. Cook until slightly clear, and toss in tomato paste, beef stock, red wine, salt and pepper.
  5. Add in the beef. Mix together and cook until liquid is enough to cover the beef cuts.
  6. Simmer, lower heat to low. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Refill with small amounts of water if too much liquid begins to evaporate.
  7. Five minutes before completion time, mix in cornstarch and water. Add salt to taste.
  8. Remove pot from stove and set aside to cool.
  9. Cut small pastry circles and place carefully into each muffin tin, with ridges that reach about half way up the tin wall.
  10. Fill the pie with the cooled beef mixture.
  11. Cut out the pastry lids and place gently onto the mixture, putting pressure on pie edges.
  12. Add a few holes to the top of the pie and brush with egg wash.
  13. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until appearing crispy and golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
