Scallions are one of those versatile ingredients that can be added easily to lot of family meals. They cook really quickly so in our house scallions are often thrown into stir-fries, omelettes or even grilled on the BBQ which gives it a lovely char grilled flavour! They can also be eaten raw and work well in sandwiches like the humble egg sandwich or in salads like cous cous, tabbouleh, quinoa, millet or garden salad. You can even whizz some chopped scallions into cream cheese and sour cream for a luscious dip.

Always use sharp knife when cutting scallions to avoid bruising them. Cut off any dried-out ends from the dark green tops (usually the top 1/4 inch or so), trim the root ends, rinse just before using.

  • Mix all the ingredients (except oil) in a bowl, stir the batter to blend well.
