Calories: 360 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 tbsp canola oil **Don't substitute for olive oil as this burns
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
Method
  1. Put 2 single corn kernels and all of canola oil in a pot with a lid

  2. Put on stove at low-medium heat, keep lid on. Don't be tempted to put the heat any higher than this otherwise the popcorn will burn!

  3. Gently give the pot a bit of a horizontal shake to move  the oil/kernels around every few seconds and wait for the kernels to pop (probably a couple of minutes)

  4. Once the 2 kernels pop, discard these two kernels (they are your testers to get the right heat) and remove pot from heat for 60 seconds (leave the lid on)

  5. While it is off the heat, pour in 1/2c kernels and give pot a bit of a shake to distribute the oil and kernels again

  6. Once 60 seconds of no heat is up, put pot back on low-medium heat with lid on and shake to stir occasionally 

  7. While this is heating, put butter in a small separate bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Then mix in chopped rosemary and salt and pepper with this 

  8. Popcorn should start popping after a couple of minutes. If your lid doesn't have holes in it, lift lid slightly as they are popping to let the steam out as trapped steam will make the popcorn a little soggy

  9. Once the majority of the "pop's" start to slow down remove your pot from the heat immediately to prevent burning 

  10. Quickly pour on butter/rosemary/SP mix and give pot a bit of a shake with lid on to mix it all in. Add extra salt and pepper to taste 

  11. Quickly pour into a bowl to eat. Enjoy!

Notes

* Make sure you use canola oil for initial cooking as other oils such as butter and olive oil will burn and make your popcorn taste smokey

* Don't put the heat any higher than medium otherwise your popcorn will have a burnt flavourĀ
