i make this popcorn before we go to the movies. it is so good because you get little bites of garlic and little hints of herbs. then there is the aromatic flavor of the olive oil, definitely with less guilt than butter. this would be good for you non-dairy eaters out there.



lo-fat take-it-to-the-movies popcorn

1/4 c. popcorn kernels
5 TBS. extra virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, smashed
4 TBS. chopped fresh herbs (i used oregano, basil, end thyme)
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper

in a small saucepan, heat garlic, oil and herbs over low heat for about 10 min, or until tiny bubbles form around the herbs and garlic turns brown. pop popcorn in air popper or over stove, whatever. just don't use nasty microwave crap. take smashed cloves of garlic out of oil and chop. drizzle oil with herbs in it over popcorn, add chopped garlic. toss popcorn seasoned popcorn with salt and pepper. put yummy treat in a paper bag, grab something yummy and fizzy to drink (something portable). place said items along with some napkins into a large purse with a zipper or really good closure. head out to the movies. enjoy a good flick without the guilt and stomach ache that comes from eating the sick shit they serve.
