Best Popcorn With Parmesan And Pecorino Recipes

POPCORN WITH PARMESAN AND PECORINO

Steps:

• Pop the popcorn using a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid or a popcorn maker.
• Coat the bottom of the pot with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Drop in 1 kernel of corn and when it pops add the remaining corn, cover and shake pan. Continue to shake pan until all the corn has popped, being careful not to burn.
• Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the cheeses. Toss gently to mix well and serve immediately. Enjoy!

SAVORY PARMESAN POPCORN

Steps:

• Combine the Parmesan, garlic salt, paprika, pepper, salt and turmeric in a small bowl. Combine the popping corn and melted butter in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat, shaking the pot with increasing frequency as the popping increases. Continue until the popping is reduced to a couple of seconds between pops, then remove from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large brown bag. Drizzle the popcorn with the olive oil and sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the seasoning into the bag. Shake up the popcorn. Sprinkle with additional seasoning to taste and serve warm.

PECORINO AND ROSEMARY POPCORN

Steps:

• Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan, gently warm 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the rosemary and gently pan-fry it until the "needles" turn light brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Stem the rosemary, dropping the needles onto a paper towel. Discard the stems.
• In a large pot fitted with a lid, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn the heat to medium. Add the popcorn kernels, then cover and cook, shaking the pot every 30 seconds, until the popcorn is popped, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spread the popcorn in a single layer on the sheet tray. Season to taste with salt. Grate the pecorino all over the popcorn. Sprinkle on the fried rosemary needles. (For a more intense rosemary flavor, you can also drizzle on some of the oil the rosemary was fried in.) Toss and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with more grated pecorino.

PARMESAN PEPPER POPCORN

Steps:

• Drizzle oil over hot popcorn in a large bowl and toss to coat, then toss with cheese, pepper, and salt.

• Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt into popcorn; toss to coat. Add Parmesan cheese and mix well.
