Popcorn with smoked paprika

Stovetop popcorn dusted with smoked paprika salt. It takes a few minutes, costs very little and beats anything from a bag for a film night.

Popcorn with smoked paprika

Method

  1. Pick a large, heavy pan with a tight lid and have a big serving bowl ready. In a small bowl, stir the smoked paprika into half a teaspoon of fine salt.
  2. Add the olive oil and three of the popcorn kernels to the pan, put the lid on and set it over a medium heat.
  3. Once those three kernels pop, the pan is hot enough. Pour in the rest of the kernels in an even layer and put the lid back on.
  4. Shake the pan about every 20 seconds, keeping the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape. The popping takes 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. When there are about 2 seconds between pops, take the pan off the heat and leave the lid on for 30 seconds more, for the stragglers.
  6. Tip the popcorn into the bowl, sprinkle over the paprika salt while it is still hot and toss well. Serve warm.

Tip Use a pan with a lid that sits flat, or the popcorn will escape. A pot lid held down with a tea towel works too.
