Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons duck fat
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (approximately 120g)
- 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Place a large heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of duck fat. Let it melt and heat for about 2 minutes until it starts to shimmer slightly.
- Pour 1/2 cup (120g) of popcorn kernels into the pot and stir gently to coat them evenly in the duck fat.
- Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small crack for steam to escape. Shake the pot gently to prevent the kernels from burning and to encourage even popping. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
- Once the popping slows down to a few pops every couple of seconds, remove the pot from heat to avoid burning the popcorn.
- Immediately sprinkle the finely chopped rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the hot popcorn. Use a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and serve while warm for maximum flavor.
Notes
[‘Don’t overheat the duck fat as it has a lower smoke point.’, ‘Shake the pot gently while the kernels pop to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.’, ‘Use fresh rosemary for vibrant flavor; avoid dried rosemary.’, ‘Season the popcorn immediately after popping for the best flavor.’]
