Enjoy the same decadent deliciousness of duck fat fries in popcorn form with this simple recipe.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 tablespoons melted duck fat, divided
- 1 sprigs rosemary, destemmed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Preparation
To pop popcorn on the stovetop, use a heavy-bottomed pan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat canola oil, 2 tablespoons duck fat and 3–4 popcorn kernels over medium heat, covered. When test kernels pop, add remaining kernels and cover.
Remove pot from heat and shake with lid on for 30 seconds. Return to stove over medium-high heat. Jiggle pot every few seconds to let popped kernels rise and unpopped kernels sink to the bottom. Vent lid after shaking so steam can escape and popcorn won’t be soggy. Remove pot from heat when pops slow to every 5 seconds.
Toss hot popcorn with remaining duck fat then sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper.
