Categories     dinner, lunch, quick

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1/2 cup popping corn
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, optional
Salt

Steps:

  • Put the oil in the bottom of a large, deep saucepan (6 quarts or so) with a cover; turn the heat to medium. Add 3 kernels of corn and cover.
  • When the kernels pop, remove the cover and add the remaining corn. Cover and shake the pot, holding the lid on as you do so. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until there are a few seconds between popping sounds (a few unpopped kernels are inevitable). Meanwhile, melt the butter (here's where the microwave comes in handy) if you're using it.
  • Turn the popcorn into a large bowl; drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with salt; toss and serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, diced
1/2 teaspoon whole brown mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the shredded coconut in a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the mustard seeds, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, ginger and onion powder. Cook until the butter becomes fragrant and the spices are no longer raw, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
  • Preheat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Add the popcorn kernels and stir to evenly coat, then cover the pot. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popping subsides, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the popcorn into a large bowl, drizzle with the spiced butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the toasted coconut and toss until all the components are evenly dispersed. Serve warm.

NOT-TOO-SWEET WOK-POPPED COCONUT KETTLE CORN



Not-Too-Sweet Wok-Popped Coconut Kettle Corn image

I'm usually not a big fan of sweet kettle corn, but I wanted to make a moderately sweet version because some people love it and it is nice to be able to offer a sweet snack for the holidays. I realized after testing this recipe that I do like kettle corn if it isn't too sweet. The trick to not burning the sugar when you make kettle corn is to add the sugar off the heat at the end of popping. The wok will be hot enough to caramelize it.

Time 5m

Yield About 12 cups popcorn

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons coconut oil
6 tablespoons popcorn
2 tablespoons raw brown sugar
Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the coconut oil in a 14-inch lidded wok over medium heat. When the coconut oil melts add a few kernels of popcorn and cover. When you hear a kernel pop, quickly lift the lid and pour in all of the popcorn. Cover, turn the heat to medium-low, and cook, shaking the wok constantly, until you no longer hear the kernels popping against the lid. Turn off the heat, uncover and add the sugar and salt. Cover again and shake the wok vigorously for 30 seconds to a minute. Transfer the popcorn to a bowl, and if there is any caramelized sugar on the bottom of the wok scrape it out. Stir or toss the popcorn to distribute the caramelized bits throughout, and serve.

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.

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.
