Mark Hix recipe: Chilli popcorn

Hot stuff: Mark's chilli popcorn (Jason Lowe)

Best to use dried chilli flakes for this. Use as much as you like – it all depends on how much of a chilli-fiend you are. I've added some sweet chilli sauce in here, too, which you can just spoon over at the end, once the popcorn is ready.

20g popping corn kernels
1tsp dried chilli flakes
A pinch of sweet paprika
1tsp Cornish chilli sea salt
2-3tsp chilli oil
Sweet chilli sauce to serve

Put the popcorn, chilli flakes, paprika, sea salt and chilli oil in the popcorn machine (or in a pan), turn it on and wait.

Serve drizzled with the chilli sauce.
