The spicier the better, and that includes popcorn. Rarely do I purchase prepackaged treats, relying instead on my culinary inspired imagination and efforts. Recently, I came up with my best spice mixture to date for old fashioned stovetop popped popcorn. Popcorn goes gourmet in Lisa's Kitchen.
Spicy Popcorn
1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels
1/8 of a cup of oil
1/8 of a cup of butter
1 teaspoon of dried dill
dash of mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon of chili powder
1/4 teaspoon of cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon of amchoor powder
1/4 - 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of sea salt
In a large pot, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add a few kernels of popcorn to the pot. When the kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn. Cover and shake the pot up and down every 15 - 30 seconds to distribute the oil and prevent the popped kernels from burning.
To make the seasoning, combine the spices, cheese and salt in a small bowl.
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and lightly toss with the spice mixture.
