Seasoned Ghee Popcorn
Say goodby to those microwave prepackaged popcorn. They're full of preservatives and who knows what! This version requires only a burner, pot with a lid, some ghee and popcorn + it is 100X tastier!
Equipment
- 1 pot with lid
- large paper bag for seasoning
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon Simply Ghee
Seasoning Blend
- 1 teaspoon Black Garlic Ghee DIY Mix
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; something spicy
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond's Real Salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley; finely crushed
Instructions
- In a bowl mix all of the seasoning together and set aside.
- Over medium/high heat add the ghee and 3 kernels of corn. Attach the lid, shake the pan a few times and wait for the ghee to heat and the kernels to pop! This determines there is enough moisture in the kettle for the kernels to begin popping.
- Then add the remaining popcorn, cover and reduce heat to medium. Shake the pan with small little breaks till all the kernels have popped. You can check under the lid carefully but do wait till there's a good 5 – 10 seconds without a pop. Remove from heat.
- Carefully toss the popped corn into a big paper bag, sprinkle the blended seasonings. Close the top of the bag and shake vigorously to coat all the popcorn.
- Taste and add more of the seasoning or salt and shake again.
- Place in bowl and sprinkle parsley and salt over the top. Serve!
Notes
Be creative with your seasonings. Make your own concoction or use some of the blended seasonings in your spice cabinet associated with other foods, such as everything bagel, any of those hot and spicy blends, smokey or BBQ meat rubs… Parmesan cheese, lemon pepper, nutritional yeast…whatever unique seasonings you have stashed in your pantry. You never know what you might end up creating!
Ghee is a great cooking fat for popping because of its high smoke point + your pop corn will NEVER get soggy due to the lack of moisture in ghee.
You can store leftover popcorn in an air tight container and it will be just as crisp as the day you made it.
