Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Once they pop, the oil is hot and ready.
Add the remaining popcorn kernels in a single even layer. Cover the pot and shake it gently to coat the kernels in oil.
Reduce the heat slightly and allow the kernels to pop, shaking the pot occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once popping slows to about 1 pop every 2-3 seconds, remove the pot from heat.
Pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
In the same pot or a small skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the pine nuts. Toast the pine nuts over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the rosemary (finely chopped) and allow it to infuse for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Drizzle the rosemary butter over the popcorn. Sprinkle in the toasted pine nuts, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant, savory snack!
