Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
12 cup popcorn
2 teaspoons dried rosemary (optional)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
sea salt (to taste)

Directions

1

Heat oil and butter in a large pot.
2

When butter is melted or nearly so, add the remaining ingredients.
3

Cover pot.
4

Pop kernels over medium heat.
5

Once the kernels start popping, shake frequently.
6

Continue shaking until done, about 3 minutes.
7

There will be a difference in the rate of popping when it is done -- maybe 2-3 seconds between pops.
8

Don't wait until there are no more pops; kernels may start burning.
9

Remove from heat.
10

Put in a large bowl and enjoy!
11

Yield is 2.5 to 3 quarts.

NOTE: If you use a wok, make sure the lid fits within the wok.
13

If it overlaps the edge the drippings will go on your stove top and make a mess.

Also, when enough popcorn is popped to move the lid, lift it a little to make room under it -- be careful or the kernels will pop out :).
