Salted Caramel or Thyme and Rosemary Popcorn

First the base !

Light fluffy dream like popcorn really not far out of reach. Realistically its only 2 ingredients away. The popcorn kernels and the oil.

What you will need?

  • 1 Large pot with lid
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 to 3 tbsp canola or vegetable oil

Instructions:

  • Pour the oil into the pot, coating the entire surface, place on heat to medium-high
  • Place 2 kernels in the pot, once they have popped the oil is ready for the rest
  • Pour the remaining kernels into the oil then place on the lid on the pot. Ther kernels should begin to pop almost immediately.
  • Every 10 seconds, shake pot to distribute kernels to prevent burning the return back to stove for another 10 seconds. Repeat until the popping has ceased.
  • Lift the lid and enjoy!

 

This is where the magic begins to happen! The base of where your creativity can run wild!

Something Savoury to cut through the sweet! This popcorn is actually my favourite out of the two! Its really warming and I feel a bit more mature this is flavour grouping.

Instructions:

  • Chop 2tbsp of Rosemary and Thyme
  • Melt butter in a pot, I used salted butter so I wouldn’t need to add salt later
  • Mix the herbs in the butter on low heat continue cooking for 7-8 minutes to allow herbs to cook through.
  • By handful sizes, mix the popcorn and the butter together so to evenly distribute flavour

Pick a film and enjoy. I recommend Nightclawer- it has Jake Gyllenhaal. Very suspenseful film!
