Grilled scallions

Yield: 4 servings

Measure Ingredient
12 eaches Scallions, cut into halves lengthwise
4 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Thyme, chopped
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper

Combine scallions with the rest of the ingredients. Leave them to marinate for about an hour.

Remove scallions from marinade, reserve the marinade. Grill the scallions quickly, about 5 to 8 minutes per side. Alternately, cook them in a hot pan for 2 or 3 minutes per side. Serve cut into bite sized lengths tossed with the remaining marinade.

Serve as a side dish to black beans with lots of soft corn tortillas.

VARIATION: Instead of scallions use green garlic shoots & baby leeks.
