No title will quite give it justice, but these are allium treasures.  Lightly sautéed and they become an amazing topping for meats, salads, burgers, sandwiches, toast….really let your imagination go. Mari has been treating us to these to spice up our lunches!

 

 

 

Ingredients

scallion blossoms

  • Chive or Scallion blossoms – as many as you want to eat
  • Fat of your choice, tastier the fat, tastier the dish (Think roasted chicken fat, lard, remant fat from cooking chorizo or bacon…or butter will do)
  • Salt & Pepper

 

 

 

Directions

Heat/melt fat in your choice of skillet.  Break apart the chive or Scallion blossoms into the hot fat.  Sautée for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.  Serve atop meats, eggs, salads or soups or put in a bowl to dress up whatever you are eating.
