List of Ingredients

3 cups popped popcorn ; recipe follows
1/4 cup basil infused olive oil
2 tablespoons grey salt
Freshly ; ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan


Recipe

Drizzle basil infused oil over the popcorn. Grind grey salt in a spice grinder (a coffee grinder also works well for this purpose) until fine – it will stick to the popcorn more evenly if the crystals are smaller. Add black pepper, then grate parmesan over the popcorn.
