Stovetop Ghee Popcorn
This popcorn is so quick, easy and delicious, you'll never buy microwave popcorn again. You can customize the flavors according to your taste. Here, I give you three versions to try: Ghee + Sea Salt, Parmesan + Rosemary, and Churro. All are made with Vital Farms ghee (THE best tasting ghee on the planet, outside of homemade), because it has a higher smoke-point than butter or most oils, it's lactose-free and like I said, it tastes amazing.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Vital Farms pasture-raised ghee
- 1/2 cup sprouted popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup Vital Farms pasture-raised ghee melted
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Melt the 3 tbsp ghee in a large pot over medium heat, then when it’s hot, add a couple tester popcorn kernels into the pot. When they pop, remove them + add the rest of the popcorn, shaking the pot to coat all the kernels with ghee. Cover with lid + let the popping begin, shaking the pot every so often to prevent burning.
- When the pops have slowed to once every two seconds or so, remove from the heat + vent the lid to let the steam escape for a minute or so.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of melted ghee over the popcorn + toss to coat, then season to taste with sea salt.
- For Parmesan + Rosemary popcorn: Follow directions above to pop popcorn. Saute 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary + 1 tsp fennel seed (coarsely chopped) in the 1/4 cup of ghee for a couple minutes, then drizzle over popcorn + toss to coat. Add grated parmesan to taste + toss to coat again.
- For Churro popcorn: Follow directions above to pop popcorn, then drizzle with the 1/4 cup melted ghee, tossing to coat. Mix 2 tbsp cane sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon + sprinkle as much as you want over top of popcorn, then toss to coat again.
