- List Of Ingredients (6 Servings)
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 100g popping corn
- Mediterranean popcorn
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp herbes de Provence
- zest of ½ lemon
- Japanese popcorn
- 2 sheets of nori seaweed
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- a dash of light soy sauce or tamari (optional)
- salt and black pepper
- Sweet popcorn
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- zest of ½ lime
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- grating of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
Method
Heat a large saucepan, preferably one with a glass lid, over a medium heat.
Add the oil and heat it for a minute, then add the popping corn.
Swirl the corn a little so it’s completely coated in oil, then put the lid on the pan and turn the heat down to low.
When you can hear the corn popping, hold the lid in place and wait until the corn stops hitting it – this can take longer than you think.
When there are a few seconds in between each pop, remove the lid.
Discard any unpopped kernels – there shouldn’t be many – and add your chosen flavouring.
