Berbere Spiced Popcorn
A simple and flavorful snack made by tossing freshly popped popcorn with berbere spice mix and a touch of oil.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn Kernels
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1 tablespoon Berbere Spice Mix
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the 0.5 cup Popcorn Kernels into a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. Heat the pot over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C).
- 2Listen for the kernels to start popping. Once they are popping consistently, about 1-2 pops per second, shake the pot gently every 10-15 seconds to prevent burning. Continue popping for 3-5 minutes, or until the popping slows to about 1 pop every 2-3 seconds. Immediately remove the pot from the heat to prevent burning.
- 3Carefully remove the lid from the pot, tilting it away from you to let steam escape. Pour the popped popcorn into a very large bowl.
- 4In a small microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, combine the 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil and the 1 tablespoon Berbere Spice Mix. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the coconut oil is melted and the spice mix is fragrant. Stir well to combine.
- 5Pour the melted coconut oil and berbere spice mixture evenly over the 0.5 cup of popped popcorn in the large bowl. Add the 0.25 teaspoon Salt.
- 6Toss everything together gently but thoroughly using a large spoon or your hands (be careful, the popcorn may still be hot) until the popcorn is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- 7Serve the Berbere Spiced Popcorn immediately.
