Super bowl weekend is always more fun for the food and friends than the football. Especially this year with the ‘eh’ commercials (except the #bestbuds, so cute) and the almost blow out game. What was not a bust? Bruno Mars and my spicy homemade popcorn. Great for a game day snack and impressive to showoff in front of friends. Simple recipe, hundreds of ingredient variations and a savory reason to step away from the television.
Homemade Popcorn
1/4 c EVOO
1/2 c popcorn kernels
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. sesame seeds
1 tsp. table salt
1. Heat EVOO in saucepan over medium-high heat. Drop one kernel in saucepan and cover.
2. Once the kernel pops, add the rest of the kernels to coat the bottom in an even layer. As kernels begin to pop, pour into separate bowl.
3. Add cayenne, cumin, sesame seeds and salt. Cover and shake well to cover all kernels. Serve warm.
Optional: Substitute spice for sweets. Melted chocolate, caramel sauce, shredded coconut, etc.
