Ingredients
- 60 ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil
- 110 g (½ cup) popcorn kernels
Vegeta seasoning
- 3 tbsp butter (or ghee), melted
- 1 tsp Vegeta
- ½ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until just before it smokes. You can add a couple of popcorn kernels to the oil to test if it is hot enough. When you hear both kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn.
- Shake the pan occasionally to coat the kernels in oil and toss to coat. Cover for 60 – 90 seconds with a lid slightly ajar to minimise popping kernels escaping your pot.
- Pour half the butter over the popcorn, cover and shake to coat. Pour the Vegeta and paprika into the remaining butter and cover and shake. Serve immediately.
