What can be more comforting than curling up with a good movie and a big bowl of popcorn to relax and unwind? Most of us can agree that we need to take a little more time to enjoy the time away from the pressures of life, and with this Wild Porcini Popcorn recipe you will have the perfect excuse to take that little break. The rich nutty flavour of porcini coupled with the butter and parsley make for a luxurious popcorn not too miss. Move over kettle corn, there is a new crowd favourite coming around.
West Coast Wild Foods’ porcini mushrooms are sustainably harvested from across the Pacific Northwest and are dried using our special process to seal in their flavour. Our mushroom powders are perfect for many recipes, but with this popcorn recipe, the Porcini Powder gets a chance to take centre stage.
