Scandal Season 5 Episode 5 – You Got Served
Leo – “Where’s all her food?”
Huck – “You mean her wine and popcorn?”
This post is going up late so I’m going to make it quick.
I love Scandal.
I think Leo is awesome and needs to be in more episodes.
I think David Rosen and Elizabeth North are an odd pairing, but wine and popcorn are not.
And I think Cyrus was ranty, but accurate, when he said “he’s not president anymore Olivia, you are”.
The End.
Popcorn Favor: Moroccan
I love the warmth and color of the spices that go into Moroccan food. Deep red paprika, golden ginger and turmeric, warm cinnamon and hot cayenne.
This popcorn has all the gorgeous flavors of traditional Moroccan food, plus it all gets popped together so it takes no time to make!
Wine Pairing: White Zinfandel
White Zinfandels are often crisp and fruity. They pair really well with spicy sauces as their sweetness helps tone down the heat.
Moroccan Popcorn
Makes about 6 cups of popped corn
Ingredients:
1/4 cup un popped corn kernels
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cayenne
Directions:
- Mix together spices and olive oil in small bowl
- Pour spice mix in a medium size pot that has a lid
- Add a few kernels to the spice mixture, cover pot, and heat on medium-high
- When the first kernel pops add the remaining popcorn. Give a good shake, (with the lid on!) to evenly coat the kernels in the spice mixture.
- continue to cook until popping is reduced to 1-2 kernels per minute.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
