Ingredients

  • 1 ½  cups  finely grated Parmesan (use a microplane to grate)
  • ¼  cup  chives, chopped finely
  • 3 Tablespoons  coconut oil (or other cooking oil)
  • ½ cup white popping corn
  • ¼ -1/3 cup melted butter (some people like lighter butter, some heavier. You do you)
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Grate cheese with a microplane and chop chives
  • Place a large pot on cooktop on high heat, add oil and three kernels of corn
  • When kernel pops, carefully add the rest of the popcorn and place lid on pot
  • Lower heat to medium/high and shake the heck out of that pot until you hear the popping stop
  • Remove lid, allow to cool a bit
  • Melt butter in a small sauce pan
  • Use a knife to stir popcorn as you drizzle with melted butter, continue to stir with a knife as you alternate sprinkling with chives and parmesan
  • Taste. Parmesan is quite salty so I want you to get an idea of how much salt to add. Add a pinch of salt at a time while stirring and stop when you are happy with the taste!
  • Share even though you'll be tempted to eat it all yourself
