Grilled Onions with Sesame Oil
March 11th, 2009
The intense heat of the grill or broiler caramelizes the natural sugars in scallions
as they cook, making them exquisitely sweet and tender. Toasted sesame oil
gives them a special nutty flavor. Serve these whole as a delicious side dish or
slice them for garnish to enhance the rest of your meal.
Serves 2
8 scallions, greens trimmed to 5 inches, cut in half lengthwise
Toasted sesame oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the broiler or lightly oiled grill to medium high heat. Arrange the
scallions on a shallow baking sheet or a piece of aluminum foil. - Pour a little toasted sesame oil into a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to
completely coat the scallions with a thin layer of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the scallions under the broiler or on the grill and broil until they are golden
brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes.
