Black And Blue Popcorn

Directions

1. 1
   Remove the cheese from the freezer and grate over a Microplane into a bowl, then transfer the bowl to the fridge.
2. 2
   Microwave the popcorn, or if using kernels, heat canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the kernels, cover tightly and wait for popping.
3. 3
   Shake the pot from side to side to help the kernels pop, and when most of the corn is popped and there's 3-4 seconds in between pops, remove from heat and keep the lid on until you don't hear any more popping.
4. 4
   When you take off the lid, a couple of pieces might fly out, but they're harmless.
5. 5
   While it's still hot, toss popcorn with cheese and pepper in a large mixing bowl, mix a little with your hands to help the cheese and pepper adhere, and serve immediately.
