Fun with Duck Fat

(An encore post)
Several people have told me about how nice popcorn is cooked with duck fat rather than regular oil. I'd been using olive oil and feeling pretty indulgent but this takes the cake.

Use about a teaspoonful for a big bowl of popcorn and you won't need butter. I have one of those fun crank stove-top popcorn makers and this works quite well. A little salt and all is good!

While the duck fat was easy to reach, I made breakfast by frying boiled, cubed potatoes in a wee but of duck fat, along with a minced red onion and garlic. I topped these potatoes with two poached eggs and some strips (rajas) of poblano chiles that had been charred and skinned. It was a rather good morning!

  1. Hello,

    I would love to talk to you about an issue that I feel is a hot topic in environmental news. I have written an article that I think your readers would be interested in seeing on your blog.

    I’m looking to promote that idea that by encouraging grocery shoppers to branch out from their usual selections and to join the local food movement, they can help create a more sustainable agricultural system.

  2. That big bowl of popcorn is just enough for the whole family during our movie time and it is just so perfect to enjoy the movie with our homemade cheese flavored or barbecue flavored pop corn. Great share I enjoyed reading.
