summer snack

the basil is really bushing out in the garden these days. to help encourage the basil to form new branches and leaves and to continue growing throughout the summer, i cut back to the top two leaves and try to remove flower buds immediately.

the basil prunings have been being put to good use around here to make a favorite summer snack.

basil popcorn

1/2 cup popcorn
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup basil leaves
parmesean cheese
sea salt
cracked black pepper

in a food processor mix the oil and basil leaves and set aside.
pop the corn.

pour basil-oil over popcorn and mix thoroughly.
sprinkle with parmesean, salt and pepper to your liking.
we like ours on the cheesy side.


pour yourself a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade and enjoy!

  17. i made this the other day but popped the popcorn in oil on the stove, the result was too oily with the extra basil oil (but boy did it smell good and taste good, just too soggy). i just noticed you air popped yours so i am excited to try again with an air popper. do you have any suggestions that maybe i overlooked besides that? thanks!!
