Ingredients
- 12scallions
- ½tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½tablespoon olive oil
- ½teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large saucepan half-full of well-salted water to a boil. Trim the scallions and cut off all but 2 inches of their dark green tops. Place them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately drain the scallions and plunge them into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set their color. When cooled, drain again and dry between layers of paper towels.
- Step 2
Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted and the pan is very hot, add the scallions. Cook, tossing gently, until the scallions just begin to brown, about 1 minute. Immediately sprinkle them with sea salt and transfer to dinner plates or a small platter and serve.

Very handy for preparing most of the way in advance, then cooks in a flash when you want them. Better with some garlic in the oil. Also, one person can easily eat six scallions, so adjust the portion size.
It's a bit unclear as to what, "cut off all but 2 inches of their dark green tops" mean.
