Once again we have the playoffs coming and once again I bring you this popcorn that will delight anyone who enjoys a little spice with their popcorn crunch. This came from Gourmet long, long ago.
It doesn't look any different from regular popcorn as people found out at the Christmas party that I brought it to. I tried to warn everyone but all night people kept coming up to me and saying, "What did you do to that popcorn?"
Granted. that doesn't sound like a positive reaction but almost everyone asked for the recipe. After a very long delay, here it is!
Hot Pepper Popcorn
Step 1:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon Tabasco
2-1/2 quarts unsalted popcorn
In a small saucepan melt butter with Tabasco and drizzle it over popcorn in a large baking pan, tossing well.
Step 2:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
In a small bowl combine salt and cayenne, sprinkle the mixture over popcorn, tossing it. Bake popcorn in a preheated 300-degree oven, stirring once or twice for 10-15 minutes, or until crisp.
