Rosemary Garlic Parmesan Popcorn

Ingredients List 4 tbsp butter 1 clove garlic 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced 3 tbsp coconut oil 1/3 cup Marsh Hen Mill Indigo Popcorn ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Salt to taste Directions In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic and fresh rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside. Add the oil to a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels and when one or more of the kernels pop, add the remaining kernels in an even layer and cover. Gently shake the pot over the heat to prevent the kernels from burning. Shake until most have popped and turn off the heat. Keep the lid slightly ajar so the steam can escape. When the popcorn is done popping, remove the pan and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Add the garlic and rosemary mixture. Gently toss and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mixture. Watch on Instagram

Put one single corn kernel in the skillet and wait for it to pop. Once the kernel pops, the pan is hot enough to add the rest of the kernels. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add your popcorn. Place lid on pan With the lid on, gently shake and stir your popcorn so that it doesn’t burn When the popcorn begins popping, turn off heat and continue to stir. Once popcorn has finished popping, remove the lid & add seasoning while still hot & moist. Stir gently to incorporate. Put in a bowl, garnish with chopped scallion & enjoy!
