Pop Culture Popcorn

• 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
• 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola or other bland vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Infused Basil Oil (see Notes)
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
• Freshly ground coarse black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
• Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
• 2 teaspoons Toasted Spice Rub (see Notes)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Roasted-Garlic Spice (see Notes)
• Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup grated semisweet chocolate
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1. Select one of the flavoring mixtures and have all the ingredients for it assembled before you begin to pop the corn.
2. Then, to pop the corn, combine the unpopped kernels and the oil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan.
3. If you will be using a savory flavoring, use olive oil, and if you will be using the chocolate and orange zest flavoring, use vegetable oil.
4. Place the pan over medium-high heat and when the kernels start to pop, cover tightly and continue to cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the kernels pop, 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl, and then make the flavoring.
