Popcorn w/ Roasted Garlic, Thyme and Rosemary – nom nom!

Popcorn w/Thyme and Garlic Oil : 

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup canola oil
1 bunch thyme, picked and chopped
3 tbs granulated sugar
3 tbs kosher salt
2 sprigs Rosemary, picked and fried
1/2 cup roasted garlic oil (recipe below)

1. Place 1 cup oil in sauce pot with 8 cloves of garlic over light heat. Slowly cook until garlic is caramelized, never frying, so that oil doesn’t become acrid. Allow to cool and strain. Set aside.

2. Place popcorn kernels and popcorn into large sauce pot and cover. Turn flame to high, and shake pan continuously to ensure popcorn doesn’t burn or stick to pan. Listen to the pan as the kernels pop. When you no longer hear popping, remove from heat and pour into a bowl.

3. While popcorn is still hot, pour garlic oil into bowl with popcorn and toss to coat. Season with remaining ingredients and enjoy.
