Can Popcorn Make for an Interesting and Elegant Appetizer?
Posted on

Can popcorn
really be interesting or elegant? Yes it can! Looking for that
affordable, light and salty appetizer to have with drinks before a
meal? Popcorn is the answer. I love it, because it's fun, easy and
affordable. Please don't use a micro bag, freshly made popcorn is
actually faster and tastes a lot better. You will also get a lot
more bang for your buck using the real stuff. Try a few of my
favorite toppings below, using a little salt as a base.
Parmesan cheese
Pecorino cheese
Truffle oil
Nutritional yeast
Honey & toasted sesame seeds
Carmel sauce & chocolate chips
Salted caramel sauce
Chocolate sauce
Curry powder
Chili powder
Cayenne pepper
Cumin
Vinegar
Agave nectar
Lemon juice
Fresh or dried finely chopped herbs
Italian seasoning
Steak seasoning
Hot sauce
Nuts & seeds
Dried fruit
Savory Herb Popcorn
Alton Brown
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 ounces popcorn kernels, approximately 1/2 cup
1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 6-quart, metal
mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits
in the top with a knife.
Place the bowl over medium heat and shake constantly using a
pair of tongs to hold the bowl. Continue shaking until the popcorn
finishes popping, approximately 3 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil.
Stir in any salt that is on the side of the bowl. Sprinkle the
herbs on the popcorn and gently stir to coat.
Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the
popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Stir to combine. Serve
immediately.

The Crush Restaurant and Bar here in Lodi serves up a special popcorn while you are at the bar or waiting for your server. Its a fantastic secret recipe. It is so delicious that we go in just for a beer and the popcorn.

I love to add butter, garlic salt, parmesan cheese and a good shake of cayenne pepper...YUMMY!
Thanks for the added suggestions ... I never thought of vinegar...but tabasco is great on popcorn too.
