Scallions, or spring onions, are relatives of the onion, leek, shallot, and chives. Sharp and pungent when raw, and soft and sweet cooked, the allium is often used as a garnish and to add crunch and color to stir-fries, stews, and soups. With these recipes, though, I make scallions the star of the show.
Scallion pancakes are a classic dish that I often serve as an appetizer. Or, try it as a twist on pizza crust, topped with sour cream and smoked salmon.
