45. Healthy Homestyle Popped Corn

This is my ol' faithful, I make it twice every week and will have no other! Its the healthiest you can get, because its popped in mostly olive oil.

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup unpopped corn

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium saucepan, pour oils in and add three popcorn kernels. Cover.
2. Turn heat onto high and  listen for the kernels to pop, that is when your oil is hot enough.
3. Add rest of kernels quickly, cover, and shake back and forth over burner until you hear the popping slow down (turn your oven vent on because olive oil lies in the air thicker and will set off your fire alarm, I did it a few times before I figured out that it was the oil by itself, not the burning of kernels).  Remove from heat and pour popcorn out into a bowl immediately.
4. Salt to taste!
