Three Point Popcorn

From The Kitchens of The Food Channel

Prep Time:5 minutes

Cook Time:10 minutes

Serves:10

Why try three flavours? With three ingredients or less for each popcorn type, you can choose your favourite or make them all!

Foodie Byte: Depending on how spicy you like your popcorn, the amount of chili flakes can easily be changed. It’s important that you serve the popcorn as soon as you make it, because after too long, the butter will cause the popcorn to get soggy.

Ingredients

3 packages microwave popcorn

1 1/2 sticks butter, divided

1/4 cup hot sauce

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

• Cook popcorn according to package directions.

• Meanwhile, divide butter into three different microwave-safe containers (1/2 stick in each) and melt.

• Combine one of the melted butters with the hot sauce and mix well. Pour sauce into the open end of one of the hot popcorn bags, close and shake well.

• With another melted butter, mix in the lime juice and chili flakes and pour into another bag of hot popcorn. Close and shake well.

• With the remaining butter, mix with the parmesan and black pepper, and pour over the popcorn in the last bag. Close and shake well.

• Serve immediately.
