This was definitely hot, but also good in an addictive sort of way – I kept trying bites throughout the marinating process. This was also my first time using hemp and hemp seeds – they have a surprisingly mild, nutty flavor. I’d love to learn more recipes using these ingredients now that I have them on hand!

This was good. I couldn’t find a garlic press over here, so unfortunately I had to dice the garlic and pepper, which probably made it even hotter I think. I also tried grapeseed oil instead of olive oil, which might have made the taste a bit more “dry.” But it was good – I think next time I’ll try the olive oil and get a garlic press, and sprinkle in a bit more salt.
