While the usual puffed corn is an addictive accompaniment to entertaining activities like movie watching, the large Peruvian corn is quite something else! Different, substantial, delectable, and easy-peasy to make! Use your usual popcorn maker- say a microwave popcorn maker (red bowl in picture). The usual way is to toast the Peruvian corn is on a hot skillet, but I find the microwave pop corn maker quite convenient Since the large corn does not increase in volume, you can “pop” larger amounts, like 1 cup, in one go –with a little EVOO- both for flavor and popping. Then garnish with Japanese kizami nori (which is toasted and shredded edible seaweed). Quick and easy. Intriguingly delicious. Enjoy!
