Truffle Butter Popcorn
Ah, these days.
I love 'em. Christmas was fantastic... I love the fresh start of a new year...and here we are in the in between. It's totally perfect. It's like these days don't count. It feels right to sleep absurdly late. It seems perfectly acceptable to see two movies during the day.
It's the perfect afternoon to throw away every sock that doesn't match and try to find matching lids to tupperware. Yep, I'm totally ignoring my rotting Christmas tree and opting to organize the kitchen and my closet. By the time 2012 rolls around, I'll be moving at the speed of light because everything will be so organized. It's my vision...I'm goin for it.
In the meantime, we must ring in the New Year. Make it fun. Keep it simple. Ignore the hype.
Make this fancy popcorn that is exactly that... fun and fancy and ridiculously simple.
Truffle popcorn and champagne is all you need to say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012.
Hope you have a smashing New Year's and I'll catch ya in 2012.
Truffle Butter Popcorn
Recipe Notes
Truffle oil is expensive, but totally worth it. I have a tiny bottle that cost about $12, but has lasted years. You only need a smidge so make the investment and you will have a sprinkle whenever you need it.
Ingredients
1 bag unsalted, unflavored popcorn (8 to 10 cups popped)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon truffle oil
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese, to taste
kosher or fine sea salt
Step by Step
Melt butter in a small microwave safe bowl. Mix truffle oil into butter. Pop popcorn. As soon as popcorn is finished pour in a medium sized bowl. Drizzle butter mixture over popcorn, making sure to turn the popcorn and evenly coat. Sprinkle parmesan evenly over popcorn while still warm. Taste popcorn and add salt to taste. Serve immediately or reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
