POPCORN

• 1 ½  tablespoons high-heat oil

• ½  cup dried corn kernels 

• 1 ½  tablespoons olive oil 

• ⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)

1. Make the herb topping:
   Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Prepare to cook the popcorn: 

   • In a large stockpot add heat-high heat oil over medium heat. 

   • Add a couple of kernels of corn, put on the lid, and shake it around every now and then. 

   • Once one of them pops that means your pan is ready. This might take a minute.

3. Cook the popcorn:

   • When the pan is hot, add the rest of the kernels and cover with a lid.

   • Shake the pan around every couple of seconds to keep it from burning.

   • Once you hear more than a couple of seconds between pops, turn off the heat.

4. Dress the popcorn:

   • Pour the popcorn into a big bowl. 

   • Pour the olive oil all over that and stir it around. 

   • Sprinkle in the herb blend and toss it around.  

   • Taste and add more salt if needed.
