Truffled Popcorn
© Frances Janisch
Truffle-studded popcorn is a staple at this Spanish restaurant's Dinner and a Movie Mondays, where customers can dine on prix-fixe meals while watching films such as Pedro Almodóvar's High Heels.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced black truffle
1 teaspoon white truffle oil
Salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup popcorn kernels (7 ounces)
Freshly ground pepper
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the truffle, truffle oil and a pinch of salt; keep warm.
2. In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil. Add the popcorn kernels, cover and cook over moderate heat until they start popping. Cook, shaking the pot continuously, until the popping has almost stopped. Carefully pour the popcorn into a very large bowl. Add the truffled butter and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
