How to Make
Rosemary Parmesan Popcorn
Yields 12 Cups Popcorn
Ingredients
- 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
- 2-5 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 1 tbsp Jacobsen Rosemary Infused Salt or sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
Materials
- Cast Iron Dutch Oven Classic (4 QT or 8 QT)
- Chef Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Microplane
- Cutting Board
Instructions
This can be made directly on a stovetop or over a fire.
- Place dutch oven over heat (a fire or on the stove). Pour in olive oil.
- Once the olive oil is shimmering, add the crushed garlic cloves and 2 fresh sprigs of rosemary. Sauté until fragrant.
- Remove rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves, set aside.
- Drop one kernel into the dutch oven and cover. Once popped, add in the rest of the kernels and stir to coat in oil. Cover with lid, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.
- Listen for the popping to slow and remove from heat, careful not to leave on too long as popcorn will burn easily.
- Chop up the rosemary from earlier as well as two more fresh sprigs and stir in. Add parmesan cheese, salt, and additional olive oil to taste.
- Mix and serve warm.
