Since starting this blog I have been reading other blogs as well and ran across one by Rachael Ray about her version of microwave popcorn and that she never realized that you did not have to buy microwave popcorn to make popcorn in the microwave. All you need is a paper lunch bag (even the old wine bottle bags you get will do in a pinch and you get to recycle too), some regular popcorn, EVOO and some salt to taste.
Since my husband is Mr. Microwave I usually let him do the honors as he is a much bigger popcorn fan than I am, being from the corn state of Nebraska. My son seems to share this interest as well and corn is NOT one of the food allergies that he has.
To Make Your Own Mircrowave Popcorn:
Ingredients:
1 brown paper bag (lunch size)
1/4 cup popcorn
EVOO
salt to taste
Preparation:
Place popcorn in the bag, fold over the top and lay on it's side in the microwave like you would a regualr store-bought version. Microwave on high for up to 2 minutes (or you can use the popcorn setting) or until the popping slows down. Pour the popped corn in a bowl and drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt to taste.
Buon Appetito!
