Basil-Parmesan Flavored Popcorn
Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello
Show:  Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello
Episode:  Are You Ready for Some Football
3 cups popped popcorn, recipe follows
1/4 cup basil infused olive oil
2 tablespoons grey salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Drizzle basil infused oil over the popcorn. Grind grey salt in a spice grinder (a coffee grinder also works well for this purpose) until fine – it will stick to the popcorn more evenly if the crystals are smaller. Add black pepper, then grate parmesan over the popcorn.

Preheat a large cast iron Dutch oven on a stovetop over high heat. Add olive oil, then popcorn. As soon as it begins to pop, cover and turn down to medium heat until sound of popping stops, about 3 to 4 minutes.
