Makes 8 cups

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
6 anchovy fillets, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels, popped (about 8 cups popped)
Kosher salt

Directions

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming subsides. Stir in garlic and anchovies and cook, stirring, until anchovies have melted into the sauce and garlic has lost some of its raw aroma, about 4 minutes. Stir in olive oil.
Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and drizzle anchovy-garlic butter all over, tossing as you go. Season with salt, if necessary, and serve.
