Coconut Oil Popcorn
One of our favorite foods is popcorn. we use about one to two tablespoon of coconut oil for a large pot of popcorn. In case you don't know how to make popcorn on the stove, here is how: put the oil in the large pot and heat on high for about 30 seconds (if you put one drop of oil in the water, the water drop will boil when it is time for the next step). Then put the popcorn in (we use about 1/4 cup). Shake horizontally but do not remove from the heat. Leave the heat on high. Keep shaking. When the popcorn begins to pop, keep shaking. When the pops stop (1 second between two consecutive pops) turn off the stove. The oil will already be distributed and the smell and flavor infused in the popcorn. When you try this the first time with coconut oil you will know why it is one of our favorite foods. Add some salt if you like salt. You can also use other oils (mix 50/50 with a less fragrant oil if you are short on fragrant oil). Enjoy.
