BURNED-SCALLION CREMA



Burned-Scallion Crema image

This is a hopped-up, smoky version of a traditional Mexican crema, thinner than sour cream, with more tang, and a slightly salty bite. I like it matched with slab-bacon tacos and it is marvelous drizzled over roasted cabbage or sweet potatoes. I've plopped it into black bean soup. It's a nice addition to a quesadilla, and I enjoy it on a burger enrobed with jack cheese and topped with pickled jalapenos. It's a versatile condiment. Try it with nachos in place of the traditional sour cream.

Time 20m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch green scallions, trimmed and cut into large pieces
1 jalapeño pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
2 limes

Steps:

  • Put the scallions and jalapeño in a large dry sauté pan and cook over high heat, tossing occasionally, until the scallions and jalapeño have blackened at the edges, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Put the scallions and jalapeño in the bowl of a food processor, and blitz them with the juice of 1 lime, then add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and blitz the mixture until it is smooth and flecked with blackened bits. Season to taste with the salt and, if you'd like the mixture thinner, the juice of the second lime. Scrape into a bowl, and reserve.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

CREAMED SCALLIONS



Creamed Scallions image

I was looking thru some of my old recipes and ran across this one. Wow - what memories this brings back! I was in my early 20's, and lived in Texas. We had little money while my 1st DH was in the Air Force. We only got paid once a month, and so we and all of our 'Air Force' neighbors would have lots of potlucks for dinner the last week of the month, lol. Someone might have a little bit of meat - but nothing else. Someone else might have a little bit of veggies, or rice, or beans, or pasta, but no meat. We got very creative with our meals by joining efforts and ingredients! And to this day - some 40 years later - I still recall these memories with warmth, a big grin on my face - and alot of humor, lol. Some of the best meals I've ever had - and some of the worst! This recipe reminds me of those days. This one is simple, cheap - and good!!

Wrapped Scallions image

This is posted in response to requests for scallion recipes. I got this simple recipe from my MIL. Looks great on a veggie platter and is addicting. Warning: very easy to make. If you like onions you will love this.

Provided by Margo59

Categories     Onions

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 bunches scallions, trimmed,leaving the green tops
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 1/2-5 ounces buddig deli roast beef or 2 1/2-5 ounces ham (or thin sliced lunch meat)

Steps:

  • Wash and trim the scallions.
  • I leave about half of the dark green portion of the scallion.
  • Take about 1 tablespoon of the softened cream cheese and form it around the lower half or 2/3rd's of the scallion.
  • Wrap with one piece of the sliced meat.
  • Depending on the length of the scallion, I sometimes fold the meat in half.
  • Chill in frig and serve on a veggie platter.
  • Note: I count the number of scallions and just judge how much cream cheese and meat slices I will need.
  • Cooking time is chill time in frig.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh scallions: Look for scallions with bright green leaves and firm white bulbs.
  • Clean the scallions thoroughly: Trim off the root ends and any wilted leaves. Rinse the scallions under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the scallions into thin slices: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet: This will help to prevent the scallions from burning.
  • Cook the scallions over medium heat: This will allow them to soften without browning.
  • Add cream and milk: This will create a creamy sauce that coats the scallions.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the creamed scallions immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh.
