Tequila & Lime Popcorn

A few weeks ago we made Sriracha Lime Popcorn and loved the lime flavor in it so much, that we decided to incorporate it again. Except this time, instead of adding spice to the popcorn, we added tequila!

This recipe brings all the flavors of a margarita (lime, salt and tequila) in popcorn form. YUM!

Take it from us, this snack is very addicting and one that you will definitely want to try again and again…and again!

Things you’ll need:

• ½ cup popcorn kernels
• popcorn salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• zest of 1 lime
• juice of ½ a lime
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon tequila

In a large pot, layer the bottom with olive oil. Pour kernels into the pot, turn heat to medium low and cover for about 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan melt butter. Add lime zest, lime juice, salt, sugar and tequila. Stir until combined.

Once the ‘popping’ has slowed down to about 5 seconds between each pop, turn heat off and salt popcorn.

Drizzle popcorn with lime and tequila mixture.

Sriracha Lime Popcorn

If you’ve tried Sriracha sauce then you know 2 things: how spicy it is and that it tastes good on just about anything. We decided this week to add it to our bowl of popcorn to spice it up and boy are we happy we did! We made a “sauce” with Sriracha, lime and butter and took our regular popcorn to a whole new level!

This recipe is definitely one for the ‘spicy’ lover but it can be modified for those who enjoy just a little spice. The lime flavor in the sauce tames the spiciness of the popcorn recipe by giving it a little tang and complements the taste of the Sriracha sauce. If you want the popcorn to be spicer add more Sriracha sauce, if you want to have it less spicy add more lime zest and juice. So get your popcorn ready and start up the TV for a relaxing evening.

Classic Off The Stove Popcorn

Calling all Scandal and Popcorn fans! We are excited for the return of Scandal tonight and in honor of the upcoming season we are creating a special Popcorn section in Our Recipe Box. Each week we will be posting different popcorn recipes, all classic with a different twist each week, inspired by our favorite TV character, Olivia Pope.

This week we are sharing our Classic Off The Stove Popcorn recipe. It is a much healthier alternative to common microwave popcorn (which is loaded with processed ingredients and unnecessary fat).

We have finally found a salt to kernel balance that satisfies everyones taste buds, not too salty, not too dry. Once we put the kernels in the pot we sprinkle them with salt. After the kernels have popped we salt them again, pour half of the pot into a serving bowl, salt again in the bowl, pour the rest and salt the top. This way every kernel gets their fair share of salt and you avoid the salty top layer and dry bottom layer that no one ever enjoys.

Grab your popcorn and a bottle of red wine and cheers to a good Scandal!

Things you’ll need:

• popcorn kernels
• popcorn salt
• olive oil

In a large pot, layer the bottom with olive oil. Pour kernels into the pot, making a thin layer of kernels along the bottom.

Salt the kernels, turn heat to medium low and cover.

In about 6 to 8 minutes the kernels should begin to pop. Once the ‘popping’ has slowed down to about 5 seconds between each pop, turn heat off.

Leave covered for about a minute to make sure all the kernels have popped. Salt the top layer and pour half into a bowl.

Salt this layer and add in the rest of the popcorn. Salt the top and serve!
