Pom Prosecco
Popcorn with Truffle Oil
Pop regular popcorn in canola or peanut oil in a heavy, covered pot. Ratio: 3 T. oil to 1/2 c. popcorn kernels. Add fine sea salt then drizzle the warm popcorn with truffle oil. Extraordinary!
I don’t make popcorn very often, and in recent years, when I did, it was in the microwave. I am so glad to have rediscovered the old-fashioned way to make popcorn. I want to thank my blogger friend Thatgirl for the suggestion. Simple and really really good.
Great start to a cocktail party!
A Pom Prosecco was a great complement to our Miso Glazed Swordfish luncheon too. This is a mighty tasty cocktail, and food-friendly. Simply pour a few ounces cold pomegranate juice into a flute and add cold Prosecco, a dry Italian sparkling wine. Personally, I am not a huge fan of adding juice to Champagne, but Prosecco is different. The method used to produce Prosecco is much less costly than Champagne, yet still produces a high quality dry sparkling wine, which is meant to be consumed young.
And POM Wonderful is a perfect addition because it is not too sweet, gives the Prosecco that awesome pink color and depth of flavor, and you can take an inexpensive bottle of this bubbly and have a really nice fresh, crisp, refreshing drink. I purchased this bottle of Prosecco at Trader Joe’s for $5.99 US.
Thanks to the folks at POM Wonderful for the gift of the delicious anti-oxidant juice! I highly recommend a visit to the POM website to check out the pomegranate recipes and beautiful food photos too. I definitely look forward to using this juice in future recipes.
Browsing through my photo library recently and noticed a recurring theme, Glassware. Thought it might be fun to compile some of the photos here:

Nothing like getting tipsy with some health components. Your settings are always immaculate.
Cool glassware photos! I love it. I converted back over to the stovetop popcorn a few years back too. It is SOOOO much better. And with truffle oil??? Oh my! I have to try that. I have some truffle oil from TJ’s but I don’t think it is the best. I need something a bit better.
Beautiful pictures!
I love prosecco — so light and bubbly. I bet the pomegranata makes it even better.
How beautiful and delicious!
Love the idea of “gourmet” popcorn, the glassware compilation is just awesome
What a divine, deliciously decadent idea – popcorn with truffle oil!!!
Gorgeous pics – thanks for adding me on Foodbuzz!
What a great collection of pictures. And what fun reminders of all the great restaurants you’ve been, too – each one a great memory, I’m sure.
Wow, I have to try that popcorn with truffle oil! Sounds very delicious!

I enjoyed leafing through your most recent posts immensely! Now, where to get truffle oil, the stores are closed this time of the night.
Beautiful presentation. Gorgeous photos. What more can one say?!
I bet the truffle oil really makes the popcorn taste indulgent. I bought a bottle a while ago, and am always looking for new ways of using it.
oh! i can picture the pom prosecco playing in my mouth and then slowly flows down my throat.
I could eat popcorn for dinner everyday. I would probably be anaemic and with a very swollen belly after a few weeks, but it would be so worth it.
Great idea with the Prosecco! We use Prosecco for champagne cocktails all the time in our house, because I can afford good Prosecco and it’s a hellalot cheaper than good Champagne!!!
Pom Prosecco makes me thirsty.:)
I also got an email from Pom Wonderful a few weeks ago and promptly ignored it. I should probably answer it, haha.
I love your glassware and the photos.
Are you kidding me? I don’t even like popcorn and now I want some!
The Pom and Prosecco is something I love and will try. Your photos are simply fabulous. I really love them.

LL, I received a case of Pom too, what a great idea,thank you, (but then you always have great idea’s) I always have a bottle of Procecco laying around here can’t wait to pop it open now. Your glassware photos are just beautiful!
Hugs, marie
It is 9 pm. I’ve been hungover the entire day. I just ate 4 bowls of cheerios. But I took one look at that pomegranate prosecco and my mouth was watering. God I need to keep more booze in the house.
YUM! I love it, I will try all of this Lori Lynn, I recently splurged and bought my first bottle of White Truffle oil(because of one of your previous recipes)
Your pictures are fabulous! really beautiful.
can I come over for some POM presecco and popcorn??? This sounds delicious.
Your photography is just amazing! Thanks for the popcorn recipe. I read an article that those bags of microwave popcorn have been linked to lung cancer. Being a skeptic, I asked my doctor, and apparently it’s true! I never touch the stuff now. I pop it the old fashioned way. Thanks again for the inspiration. Lovely work.
decadent snack…beautiful glassware photos.
The cocktail sounds delightful, but I REALLY like the popcorn idea. I too have been experimenting with popcorn — lately I’ve been popping it with smoked chilies that I packed in oil.
What an elegant pair of party snacks! Amazing! And your tablescapes are just delightful.
This is such a great idea perfect for a movie night.
I did an afternoon of POM cocktails recently and they were lovely – somehow the sweetness is offset perfectly by the Prosecco. That with the popcorn sounds like a fantastic Friday night treat!
