Scallions
/I think scallions are a must if you want to feel just as bourgeois eating home cooked meals as you do eating out at all the hip restaurants Minneapolis has to offer! Garnish everything with scallions for a perfectly plated instagram worthy dish. I mean why not! I think sometimes eating local seems intimidating, like if I don’t pull something fancy off with all these gorgous veggies I haven’t done them justice. To be honest that sentiment is simply not true. These veggies have been growing longer then food trends have ever existed. They were brought to you not by elite chefs, but by clever peasant farmers trying to feed their communities something good! So get fancy with your scallions or simply chop them into your scrambled eggs in the morning, either way they offer their delicious nourishment just the same!
Scallions are abundant at Growing Lots so you’ll find them in your CSA frequently throughout the season! There are so many ways to make scallions a staple in your CSA diet! The simplest way is to add it raw as a garnish on just about everything! Below I’ve included a article on how to chop up scallions in fancy ways. Toss them in salads for fresh flavors, or make them into sauces and dressing! In Mexican cooking it is popular to put whole scallions to be charred on a grill after you soak them in soy sauce and lime! Yum! Scallions can make for incredible savory pancakes or do well chopped up in any egg dish for an impressive weekend brunch!
