Recipe: Bacon & Pecorino Romano Popcorn
What better snack for movie night than popcorn? This gourmet version is a savory twist to ordinary popcorn. It’s good and salty with the bacon and the pecorino…no need to ad more. Serve in individual bowls, brown paper bags or wax paper cones. We like brown paper bags the best. You can even go the extra mile: trim 2 inches off the top and decorate innominated movie themes, gold stars or glitter.
Ingredients:
12 oz. thick cut bacon, chopped
½ cup white popcorn kernels
3 oz. pecorino cheese, crumbled (could be aged asiago)
Directions:
Place a large deep pot over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and fry until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place in a paper towel lined bowl to drain. Add the popcorn to the pot with remaining bacon grease and cover leaving the lid slightly off-set to vent. Pop the corn then pour into a large bowl. Toss in the bacon and crumbled cheese. Serve warm!
