Skillet Scallions From Edna Lewis

Ingredient Amount Calories
Butter without salt 42.6g 305kcal
Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw 400g 128kcal

Recipe Instructions:

4 bunches scallions (or as many as you’d like to cook, see Author’s Note above)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Prepare the scallions by picking off any yellow stems. Cut away the fibrous roots from the bottom. Wash in cold water under tap, then cut the tops down to fit the skillet. Heat the skillet and add the butter. When the foaming stage is reached, put in the scallions. The few drops of water left on the scallions from washing are enough for steaming. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat. Turn them over after about 3 minutes. Total cooking time is 4 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the white part should be a bit crisp, the tops tender, shiny, and green. No salt or pepper will be needed.
