 Turmeric and Garlic popcorn

Turmeric and garlic popcorn could be the new big thing, truffle popcorn has had its time but could a new king be crowned? Throw out your old microwaveable popcorn that's been sitting in your cupboard for the last 3 years and pick up some fresh popcorn kernels because this recipe is quick, easy, healthy and most importantly deliciously moreish!

What you'll need:

1/3 cup popcorn kernels

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp butter

2 garlic cloves or 1/4 tsp garlic powder   

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

What to do:

1. In a large saucepan heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of butter, add your grated garlic cloves and 2-3 popcorn kernels. Keep an eye on when the first kernel pops.
2. As soon as the first kernel pops add the turmeric, salt and the rest of the popcorn kernels and most importantly the lid!
3. Put on some oven gloves and grab the saucepan and shake it from side to side (you'll hear lots of popping!) Keep shaking till the popping slows, once the popping has slowed turn off the heat and open the lid so the steam can escape.
