Servings: 8
Equipment
- Dutch Oven or Large Heavy Pot
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Can pickled jalapenos sliced
- ½ Cup popcorn kernels
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon popcorn powder white cheddar flavor
- 3 Tablespoons cilantro freshly chopped
- 1 jalapeño fresh, sliced
Instructions
- Put your Dutch oven or large pot over a medium low heat.
- Once hot, add the butter.
- Next, add the pickled jalapeños to the melted butter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour in the popcorn kernels and add salt and pepper. Stir and spread the kernels in an even layer and cover.
- Once the popcorn starts popping, lift the pot just slightly off the burner and shake back and forth to evenly distribute the heat.
- Cook until the popping slows, be sure to shake the pan every 30 seconds. All together this should only take 3 to 5 minutes.
- Toss popcorn with white cheddar powder, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños, and serve immediately while still warm.
Notes
Don’t walk away: Stay near the Dutch oven so you can shake it regularly for even popping.
Taste before salting: The cheddar powder and pickled jalapeños may already be salty enough.
Add herbs last: Toss in the cilantro just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
