Ingredients
  • 4 cloves of white garlic
  • 200 grams of corn kernels
  • 1 bunch of fresh mint
  • 100 gr Butter
  • Sal
Step by step
  1. We will peel the garlic cloves and cut them into very small cubes, almost to the point of mincing them.

  2. We will chop a few mint leaves and set the rest aside.

  3. In a frying pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and, when it is melted, add the garlic.

  4. When it is lightly browned, we will add the chopped mint.

  5. Finally, we add the corn and cover the pan with a lid.

  6. In a few seconds, you'll start to hear the popcorn popping against the lid. When you can barely hear it anymore, remove the pan from the heat.

  7. FINISHED DISH:

    Season the popcorn with a pinch of salt and mix well.

  8. We put our popcorn in a container, we have chosen a metal bucket, and add the rest of the mint leaves.

The advice of

– We must control the fire well, because if we set it too high we can burn the popcorn without realizing it.
– It's a dish that can be combined with any spice or seasoning, whether sweet or savory, such as curry, paprika, cinnamon, honey,…
