Ingredients
- 60 ml (¼ cup) canola oil
- 115 g (½ cup) popping corn kernels
- 15 g unsalted butter
- salt, to season
- extra parsley and chives, to garnish
Café de Paris butter
- 150 g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp capers, finely chopped
- 2 anchovies, finely chopped
- ½ lemon, rind grated
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp Keen’s curry powder
Instructions
- For the Café de Paris butter, place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine well.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil and popping corn. Cover with a lid but leave the lid slightly ajar and cook for about 3 minutes, shaking occasionally until the kernels are mostly popped. Remove from the heat.
- Melt the plain butter with an equal volume of Café de Paris butter in a small saucepan (or in a bowl in the microwave). Pour over the popcorn and season with salt. Scatter with extra parsley and chives if you like.
Note
• This makes more Café de Paris butter than you will need for this recipe, but you can roll the excess into a log, wrap in baking paper and freeze for up to 3 months.
