Spicy Popcorn With Piment d'’Espelette and Marcona Almonds image

This spicy upscale popcorn combines two international ingredients: ground French peppers and Spanish almonds.

Provided by Lora Zarubin

Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon piment d'Espelette or Hungarian hot paprika, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup peanut oil
3/4 cup whole roasted Marcona almonds*

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 teaspoon piment d'Espelette and 1/2 teaspoon salt in small bowl and reserve.
  • Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon piment d'Espelette and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Combine popcorn kernels and peanut oil in large deep pot with lid. Heat over medium-high heat, occasionally swirling pot so that popcorn kernels are coated with oil. Cover pot. When popcorn kernels start popping, rotate pot over burner until all kernels have popped. Remove popcorn from heat. Immediately add melted butter mixture and Marcona almonds to pot. Cover pot. Using oven mitts, firmly hold pot and lid together and shake until popcorn and Marcona almonds are well coated with melted butter mixture. Transfer popcorn mixture to serving bowl. Sprinkle with reserved piment d'Espelette-salt mixture and serve.
  • Tender Spanish almonds that are usually sold roasted and salted; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores and online from latienda.com.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels: Fresh popcorn kernels will pop better and have a better flavor than old kernels.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: You need a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn so that the kernels have enough room to expand.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat: Do not overheat the oil, or the popcorn will burn.
  • Add the popcorn kernels and shake the pot: Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and shake the pot so that the kernels are evenly coated with oil.
  • Cover the pot and remove it from the heat: Once the popcorn starts to pop, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Shake the pot occasionally: While the popcorn is popping, shake the pot occasionally to help distribute the heat and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Remove the pot from the heat when the popping slows down: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Season the popcorn: Once the popcorn is popped, season it to taste with salt, pepper, melted butter, or other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Spicy pimentón popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties or movie nights. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone.
