Savory Lavender-Herb Popcorn Seasoning
Author: 
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: ⅓ cup seasoning mix.
 
I can never eat just one handful of popcorn seasoned with this lavender-herb blend. And I'm betting that you can't either. Tip: Several different lemon-pepper seasoning blends are on the market and some are saltier and more peppery and lemony than others. So, I suggest you start by using only ¾ teaspoon, then, if you like, adding in a little more once you've tried the mix on popcorn.
Ingredients
  • Lavender-Herb Popcorn Seasoning
  • 2½ tablespoons chopped dried chives
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
  • ¾ to 1 teaspoon commercial lemon-pepper seasoning, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • Batch (2 quarts) Lavender-Herbed Seasoned Popcorn
  • 4 to 4½ tablespoons salted or unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 2 to 2½ teaspoons lavender-herb popcorn seasoning
  • 8 cups unseasoned or very lightly salted popped popcorn
  • Salt to taste, optional
Instructions
  1. To make the seasoning mix: Combine all ingredients in a mini-chopper or food processor and chop or process 2 minutes or until ground. Store airtight in a dry cool spot for up to 6 months. Makes ⅓ cup seasoning mix, enough for 5 or 6 batches of popcorn. The recipe may be doubled if desired. It will keep in an airtight bottle in a cool, dark spot for at least a year.
  2. To make a batch of popcorn: Combine the butter and seasoning mix in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat to hot but not boiling. Stir well, then let stand so flavors can mingle 2 or 3 minutes. Thoroughly stir into 2 quarts (8 cups) popcorn.
