- Marinated Scallions
- -------------------
-
- Wash and trim
-
- 2 bunch scallions (1)
- 1 bunch greens (e.g., kale, mustard)
- or 1 small head lettuce (e.g., escarole, romaine)
-
- Bruise a few
- garlic cloves
-
- and, if large, cut lengthwise into smaller pieces.
-
- In a microwave casserole dish, layer the greens and scallions,
- starting and ending with the greens.
- (Cut the scallions in half, if necessary, to fit in the dish.)
- In each layer scatter a few pieces of garlic.
-
- Cover, and nuke until the whites are tender and slightly
- translucent. (About 7 minutes depending on wattage.)
- (Everything will be so completely wilted that you'll hardly
- recognize them.)
- Discard the greens and garlic.
-
- In a small bowl, whisk together
-
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp garlic vinegar (2)
-
- until well blended. (It will be very runny.)
- Pour the dressing over the scallions, turning to make sure the
- scallions are well coated.
- Chill for several hours, turning a few times, before serving.
-
- The scallions will squeak as you eat them, but that makes them
- even more fun.
-
- Serves 4 as side dish.
-
-
- NOTES:
- 1. Choose scallions with small white parts.
-
- 2. Garlic vinegar should be available in most supermarkets or
- gourmet food stores. If not, make your own (I do!) as follows -
-
-
- Garlic Vinegar
- --------------
- In a small saucepan (non-aluminum), boil
-
- 2 cups white vinegar
-
- Pour the vinegar into a sterilized glass jar.
- Peel and bruise slightly
-
- 4 cloves garlic (they should be unblemished)
-
- and add to the vinegar.
- Seal the jar, and store in a cool dark place for 3-6 weeks, the
- longer the stronger.
- Strain the vinegar into a fresh sterilized jar.
- Optionally, drop a fresh unblemished garlic clove for
- decoration/identification.
