Skillet Scallions from Edna Lewis | Genius Recipes

If you think of scallions strictly as a garnish or seasoning, you’re in for a rather life-changing surprise. Because, once you know their secret, you’ll be able to cook them as a fresh, sweet green vegetable to pour, still-sizzling, next to creamy beans or crisp chicken or scrambled eggs—in just five minutes and barely having lifted a knife.

This week Kristen has a Genius Recipe doesn’t end with “salt to taste.” In fact, you’ll see the last line specifically says, “No salt or pepper will be needed,” the graceful words of the late Southern cooking champion Edna Lewis. She was of course right, and this simple, immediate Southern side dish needs nothing more than two ingredients: scallions and butter. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/2NsTJfA
