Truffle Butter, Parmesan And Thyme Popcorn

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons /28g black truffle butter
• 5 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves
• 2 Tablespoons/30ml coconut oil (or any oil that can withstand high heat)
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• Fine sea salt to taste

Instructions

• You'll need a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. (Use a pot deep enough to accommodate the popped corn.)
• Melt truffle butter in a small saucepan with the fresh thyme leaves. Set aside.
• Heat oil over medium heat with 2 or 3 popcorn kernels.
• When the kernels start to pop, remove them from heat. Add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover.
• Place back over heat and cook, covered, leaving the lid slightly ajar (this is so water vapour can escape) while occasionally shaking the pot, until popping slows. Continue shaking until most kernels have popped and you can't hear them moving against the bottom of the pot which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and drizzle with the thyme truffle butter, grated Parmesan cheese and sea salt. Put the lid back on and shake, shake, shake to mix the popcorn and get it thoroughly coated.
