Popcorn – some people love it, others don't. I'm somewhere in between. I don't eat it at home, but at the cinema I always eat a small bucket of popcorn. It is a habit. My children love popcorn. They like to watch how the small yellow seeds change into white popcorn. I don't buy popcorn for the microwave. I heat a bit of oil, add the dry corn seeds, spice it up with salt and cover quickly. I need to stir every so often to heat the seeds steadily, and then we can watch the popping seeds.

For some time at the cinema we have been able to buy nachos with spicy red sauce. I have never bought any, but recently when I planned a movie night I decided to change our habit and made some nachos. I served the yummy paprika triangles with horseradish-avocado sauce and tomato-basil salsa.

The recipe for home nachos comes from the on-line Lidl cookery book.

Ingredients:
200g of cornmeal
100g of wheat flour
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of oil
warm water
sweet or spicy paprika
oil for frying

Sieve the two kinds of flour into a bowl. Add the salt, oil and some warm water. Knead the dough, adding water until the dough is smooth and resilient. Cut the dough into smaller pieces and roll them out thin. Prick the dough with a fork and cut it into small triangles. Put the nachos into hot oil and fry until they are golden. Put them on a kitchen towel. Sprinkle with the paprika. Serve with your favourite sauce.

Enjoy your meal!
