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.
