TRUFFLE AND PARMESAN POPCORN

By Lynnab3

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon grape-seed or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/8 teaspoon truffle oil
• Salt, to taste
• Cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Spread the kernels over the oil in an even layer; cover with lid. Once popping comes to a halt, remove the popcorn from the heat. Allow to cool.

Meanwhile finely grate parmesan; melt butter in a small saucepan over the stove or microwave it for 10 seconds until melted.

Drizzle the truffle oil into the melted butter and stir to incorporate.

Pour butter-and-truffle-oil mixture over the popcorn and toss gently. Sprinkle with parmesan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
