10862 Parmigiano–Black Pepper Popcorn 10 mins 5 mins 6 to 8 servings Tue Sep 04 18:24:00 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 19 15:05:07 -0800 2008 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10862 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:05:07 GMT With extra-virgin olive oil With extra-virgin olive oil. This tasty iteration of popcorn is a hit, combining the flavors of tangy Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and aromatic extra-virgin olive oil with just the right amount of black pepper bite. We recommend serving it alongside Black Sesame and Mustard Popcorn and Spicy Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn for a gourmet treat.

What to buy: Be sure to use real Parmigiano-Reggiano and freshly ground black pepper, and don’t skimp on the quality of your extra-virgin olive oil!

We found that regular table salt works best on popcorn, because its fine grain adheres better to each kernel.

Special equipment: We tested this recipe with popcorn made in an air popper, which produced stellar results.

  • In a small bowl, toss together cheese, pepper, and salt until well combined.
  • Using an air popper, pop corn kernels into a large bowl. While corn pops, combine butter and olive oil in a small bowl; stir well. As the large bowl begins to fill, alternately drizzle olive oil over popcorn and sprinkle with cheese mixture, occasionally tossing to coat.
  • When popcorn stops popping, use your hands to toss everything together and ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Serve immediately.
