POPCORN SEASONING MIXES



Popcorn Seasoning Mixes image

When our grandkids sleep over, we usually watch a movie; they like seasoned popcorn but we pefer the plain old buttered stuff! Thanx to Martha Stewart, we now spend a little quality time in the kitchen as each child "cooks up" a mix before "show time"! All of the variations can be doubled or tripled, depending on the size of the container you plan to use. The Italian mixture should be kept in the refrigerator, as it contains fresh cheese.

Try it in one or more of our variety of flavors: sea salt-pepper; chili-lime; sesame-pepper; Pecorino-rosemary; smoked paprika; and spicy-sweet.

SPICY PIMENTóN POPCORN



Spicy Pimentón Popcorn image

Using more oil than popcorn, a technique developed by Jessica Koslow of Sqirl in Los Angeles, yields a particularly crisp and rich popcorn. Here, the kernels are popped, then tossed while still hot with a combination of sweet and hot smoked paprikas, and bit of earthy cumin. It's a complex mix that can be as hot as you can take it.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     snack, finger foods

Time 20m

Yield About 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil with a high smoke point (such as corn, canola, or sunflower)
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pimentón (hot smoked paprika), to taste

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat, heat oil and 3 popcorn kernels. When kernels pop, add remaining kernels, lower heat to medium-low, and cover almost all the way with a lid, leaving a tiny crack open for steam to escape (face the crack away from where you are standing).
  • Cook, shaking occasionally, until popping stops.
  • Transfer popcorn to a bowl, and immediately toss with salt, cumin, sweet paprika and pimentón, if using. For the utmost crunch, let popcorn settle for 5 to 7 minutes before eating.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality popcorn kernels: Fresh, non-GMO kernels will pop better and taste fresher.
  • Use the right amount of oil: Too little oil will make the popcorn dry and bland, while too much oil will make it greasy.
  • Heat the oil to the right temperature: The ideal temperature for popping popcorn is between 400°F (204°C) and 450°F (232°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the popcorn will not pop properly and will be more likely to burn.
  • Shake the pot frequently: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Listen for the popping to slow down: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, it's time to remove the pot from the heat.
  • Season the popcorn immediately: This will help the seasoning to stick to the popcorn.
  • Experiment with different seasonings: There are many different ways to season popcorn, so feel free to experiment until you find a flavor that you love.

Conclusion:

Making spicy popcorn at home is easy and fun. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful snack that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or simply enjoying at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give spicy popcorn a try.
