Ingredients

  • ½ cup popcorn
  • ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Place popcorn, olive oil, and salt in a large pot. Stir well. The oil should coat every kernel of corn.
  • Cover the pot and place over medium heat.
  • Shake the pot continuously back and forth over the burner. The popcorn will start popping after a few minutes. Use potholders to protect your hands from the heat.
  • Continue shaking the pot until you hear about 3 - 4 seconds between pops.
  • Remove pot from heat and transfer popcorn to a large serving bowl.
  • Melt butter in the microwave or in a small skillet.
  • Drizzle a third of the butter over the popcorn. Top with additional salt (if desired), pepper to taste, and ⅓ of the Parmesan. Mix popcorn well.
  • Repeat the previous step.
  • Finish by topping popcorn with remaining butter and Parmesan, plus salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

I recommend using a heavy-bottom stock pot or dutch oven to make the popcorn.
