Serves:
Ingredients
- ⅓cuppopcorn kernels
- 3tbspextra-virgin olive oil
- 1lemon zestsmall
- ¼cupParmesan cheesefinely grated
- black pepperfreshly cracked, to taste
- fine grain sea saltto taste
Instructions
-
Place a large serving bowl near the stove. Pour the oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pan with a lid. Turn the heat up to medium-low, add 2 kernels of corn, and cover. This is to test out if the pan is hot enough.
-
Once the kernels pop, remove the pan from heat and pour in the remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot and give the pot a little shimmy to distribute the kernels evenly. Let the kernels warm for one minute.
-
Cook over medium-low heat, shaking the pot occasionally. Once the kernels start popping like crazy, crack the lid just a smidge so the popcorn stays crisp.
-
Cook until the popping sound slows to about one pop per every few seconds. Remove the pan from heat and dump the popcorn into the bowl.
-
Use a Microplane or other small grater to grate some lemon zest and Parmesan over the bowl of popcorn, to taste. Add pepper and salt, to taste. Serve!
