How to make Spicy Popcorn With Piment d'’Espelette and Marcona Almonds

Mix 1/2 teaspoons piment d'Espelette and 1/2 teaspoons salt in small bowl and reserve.

Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoons piment d'Espelette and 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Combine popcorn kernels and peanut oil in large deep pot with lid. Heat over medium-high heat, occasionally swirling pot so that popcorn kernels are coated with oil. Cover pot. When popcorn kernels start popping, rotate pot over burner until all kernels have popped. Remove popcorn from heat. Immediately add melted butter mixture and Marcona almonds to pot. Cover pot. Using oven mitts, firmly hold pot and lid together and shake until popcorn and Marcona almonds are well coated with melted butter mixture. Transfer popcorn mixture to serving bowl. Sprinkle with reserved piment d'Espelette-salt mixture and serve.
