Grilled Scallions With Romesco Recipes

GRILLED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the scallions with olive oil. Lay the scallions on the grill until you see distinct grill marks, about 2 minutes. Turn the scallions over and cook about 1 minute more. Transfer to 2 plates and serve warm.

GRILLED SCALLIONS WITH ROMESCO

Steps:

• Trim the roots from the scallions, remove outer layer if very thick and tough and cut into 6-inch pieces.
• Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan until very hot. Brush the scallions with oil. Grill, turning, until well seared and tender.
• Arrange on a platter and brush the romesco sauce over the white part of the scallions.

GRILLED SCALLION LAMB

Steps:

• Cut lamb in 2-inch chunks; you should have about 20 pieces. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil with ginger, five-spice, cumin, pepper, salt, fish sauce, soy sauce and juice of 2 limes. Add lamb, mix to coat well and set aside at room temperature 3 hours.
• Trim scallions of roots and outer layer of white and cut back green so scallions are 6 to 8 inches long. Coat with remaining oil and set aside. Light grill. Thread meat on long skewers, alternating each chunk of meat with a scallion by running skewers through the center of the scallions crosswise so the scallions stick out on either side of the skewer. Brush meat and scallions with some of remaining marinade.
• Grill skewers of meat and scallions close to your source of heat, basting occasionally with marinade. Turn skewers once or twice, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the grill, until lamb is medium-rare and scallions are lightly charred. Arrange skewers on a platter and serve with wedges of remaining lime.
