Pecorino And Rosemary Popcorn Recipes

ROSEMARY-PARMESAN POPCORN

Steps:

• Place rosemary on a baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 10 minutes or until crisp. Finely chop rosemary or crush using a mortar and pestle; set aside., Place popcorn in a large bowl; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with cheese, salt, pepper and rosemary; toss to coat.

ROSEMARY POPCORN

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the corn and olive oil. Add the corn kernels. When the oil is very hot, the corn will start to pop. Shake the pot frequently to avoid burning. When the popping has stopped, the popcorn is finished.
• Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and butter. Try to serve warm.

KALE-DUSTED PECORINO POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300°F. Rinse and dry the kale; no worries if you don't get every last droplet of water off. Remove and discard the tough stems.
• Lightly brush two large baking sheets with olive oil-the thinnest coat is just fine. Arrange the leaves in one layer on the prepared baking sheet(s), sprinkle lightly with salt, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the leaves are crisp. Let cool completely. In a food processor, with a mortar and pestle, or even with a muddler in a bowl, grind the kale chips down into a coarse powder.
• Place 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 or 3 kernels of popcorn in a 3-quart or larger pot. Turn the heat to medium-high, and cover with a lid. When you hear these first kernels pop, add the remaining kernels and replace the lid. Using pot holders, shimmy the pot around to keep the kernels moving as they pop. When several seconds pass between pops, remove from the heat.
• Transfer to a bowl, and immediately toss with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, kale dust, Pecorino, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Taste, and adjust the seasonings if needed.

ROSEMARY, GARLIC & CHILLI POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the garlic, chilli and rosemary for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat, set aside and leave the oil to infuse for 30 mins.
• Cook the popcorn according to pack instructions. Scoop the garlic out of the infused oil and discard. Toss the popcorn with the oil, then season and serve straightaway.

PECORINO WITH HONEY, ROSEMARY, AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Steep the rosemary in the olive oil for 2 hours. Strain and discard the rosemary. Whisk the olive oil and honey in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Arrange the Pecorino on a serving platter and drizzle with the honey and olive oil mixture.
• Top with the black pepper and walnuts and serve.
