Prep Time 1 minute
Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsps of coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup of tiny by mighty kernels or other non-GMO popcorn kernels
  • 1/4 of extra good quality olive oil
  • sea salt to taste
  • a handful of rosemary thyme, and sage, rough chopped

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, over medium heat, add the 6 tbsp of olive oil along with 2-3 popcorn kernels. Place the lid on the pot and wait.
  • When you hear the kernels pop, add the remaining 1 cup of kernels. Give the pot a good "shake" to ensure all kernels are coated with oil evenly and place the pot back over the burner
  • Allow kernels to cook/pop until the pot is about halfway full of popped popcorn (about a minute or two), then give another good "shake", and CAREFULLY remove the lid and allow the popcorn to continue cooking another minute or two.
  • You will know the popcorn is "done" when you only hear a few kernels left popping.
  • Remove from heat and pour the popped popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup of good quality olive oil in a pan. Heat over medium/low heat and add a handful of herbs (use what you like). All the herbs to steep and become crispy. Don't overcook the olive oil.
  • Then slowly, drizzle half of the olive oil over the popped popcorn. Toss and repeat.
  • Sprinkle with a generous amount of sea salt. Add a sprinkle of more herbs. Taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve and enjoy!
