  • Scallion, only cheaper!

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 28 17:02:27 2023
    Hi All,

    I became time for me to cull my white onions
    to make room for their bulbs. I have a big
    bag of them in my refrigerator and cook with
    them a lot. They are down right yummy! Can't
    tell them apart from scallions (except for
    the white bottoms). And way, way cheaper!

    :-)

    Never saw the cooking need for scallions.
    Just chop up an onion. But that may just
    be me.

    it's a color and presentation thing for
    some people. i like them sprinkled on top
    of soups, but i don't want them cooked in
    the soup. other uses for green onions
    abound. i like them anyplace regular
    onions can be used. just cooked enough to
    heat them through a bit bit not turned to
    mush.

    almost any form of onions i like cooked,
    partially cooked or raw.

    That would be really yummy in chicken stock!

    I add to macaroni salad.
    Mac, mayo, cucumber, snipped green scallions, salt and pepper.
    Easy and summer cool.
