Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for popping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add two or three popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. When they pop, the pot is ready for the rest of the kernels.
Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot, cover, and shake the pot gently to distribute the oil.
Allow the kernels to pop, shaking the pot every few seconds to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and let them infuse the butter for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the rosemary sprigs and stir the orange zest into the melted butter.
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle the orange-rosemary butter over the popcorn, sprinkling with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the popcorn thoroughly to coat it evenly with the butter and seasonings.
Serve immediately and enjoy this aromatic and flavorful snack!
