Nectar was the drink of the gods in Greek and Roman mythology. In another Greek myth, the god Hermes divided a sacrifice of two cows he had stolen from Apollo, on the banks of the river at Olympia and then prepared the meats as a stew and divided them into twelve portions. That’s the connection here, so feel free to invite 11 friends over for eating and investing.
Ingredients
4 pounds meaty beef soup bones (beef shanks or short ribs)
3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
3 celery ribs, cut into chunks
2 medium onions, quartered
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3 bay leaves and 3 garlic cloves
8 to 10 whole peppercorns
3 to 4 sprigs fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
Cannabis infused olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Cold water
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°. In a large roasting pan, bake soup bones, uncovered, 30 minutes. Add carrots, celery and onions. Bake 30 minutes; drain fat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bones and vegetables to a large Dutch oven. Add warm water to roasting pan; stir to loosen browned bits. Transfer pan juices to Dutch oven. Add seasonings and enough cold water just to cover. Slowly bring to a boil, about 30 minutes. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 4-5 hours, skimming foam. Add cannabis olive oil in the last 25 minutes and keep on low heat. Add water during first 2 hours to keep ingredients covered if necessary. Remove beef bones. Remove meat and discard bones; save meat for another use. Strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander, discarding vegetables and seasonings. If using immediately, skim fat. Or refrigerate 8 hours or overnight; remove fat from surface. This beef broth can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen 4-6 months.
