Hot popcorn

Posted in: Food

Random late night food idea that panned out : popcorn with tabasco. Cover the bottom of the pan with oil (try stir-fry oil for an extra smoky nutty twist) and add a tablespoon or so of tabasco. Boil up and add the popcorn. Make as usual. That's it really.

The kick is deceptive: the cayenne pepper has a mild mid kick, a pause, then the whammy. Nice. A little sugar and a few whisky shots didn't seem to go amiss either.

Have fun!

This really is good. We used to put the tabasco on the popcorn after it was popped but found this way by experimentation as well. :)

Try masala, garam masala, salt, pepper, red pepper, jalapeno and some cayenne pepper, with tomato paste and any meat you can get your hands on. Tada, you have Indian food. Happy heartburn
