Immature Onions?
>> Saturday, 28 June 2008
This week it's all about my beloved green onions/scallions/spring onions, you get the picture. Well, if being immature is this attractive and versatile while making a bold yet subtle presence either on my tongue or to my eyes, then please, do not ever mature! Click here for the column.
- If you want more about slicing green onions, check out Cookthink.
- If you're interested in reducing the oniony flavour when adding green onions to a salad, let Tigerfish tell you and show you how.
- If you're looking for a fast delicious meal in which green onions are one of the key ingredients, then you've got to try this dish by Gattina.
- And for a green vegetarian dish that's sure to please, eaten with some rice, pickle and dhal, then head on over to Ferdzy.

Show me your moves as you garnish.
The Chinese and Korean cuisines are known for their green onions pancakes, however, this week, I wanted to try making a green onion-paratha the way we make paratha roti here in the Caribbean with the exception of clapping the roti. It turned out really well and the taste testers were enthusiastic as I served them the roti with some of my spiced sauteed potatoes. For the recipes of any or all of the dishes, please send me an email.
Egg salad is another of those many dishes in which I enjoy the green onions.
I would like to thank my fellow crabby buddy and all of you for your kind birthday wishes. Thank You!

Green onions/chives/'chibble'? or whatever they are called, I like em. I've never seen the purple head ones though. I'll have to look for those at maybe a WholeFoods market or some place like that. The paratha with the spiced potatoes looks good too!
Nice photos of the onions. They are so vibrant green. That onion roti looks good.
Loving the onion roti with spiced potatoes. Great dish. I seek that pungent onion flavor so no need for me to mess with nature:-) Love your garnishing tips.

Your parathas and sauteed potato is making me hungry, Cynthia.
I make a version of these oninon parathas with paneer in them.
Happy belated birthday! I hope this year brings you every good thing. Those paratha rotis and the potatoes look just out of this world.

Hi Cynthia:) Belated Happy Birthday:) I hope you had a wonderful time:) Lovely curls of the onion:) I have never prepared Egg salad, yours looks super yummy:) I try to incorporate onion in most of my cooking. Same goes for garlic.

Very Very visually appealing…great presentation
Happy B to you Cynthia!!
Those are some kick butt knife moves on the onions! You win!
Happy Birthday!
Great uses for scallions/spring onions, all! My fave way of cooking them at the moment is with sauteed with some broad beans, peas, garlic, and bacon - with lots of mint and basil. Yum!
Hi,
my first time here , and I am kind of so hooked to your wonderful site.
Wishing you Happy Birthday .
Onions remains our fav too .
Hugs and smiles
jaya

Happy belated birthday dear girl! Hope your day ROCKED!!! The paratha looks far better than anything I've ever been able to make...WOW!!! Love the veggies too. Green onions are one of my fave flavours...YUM YUM YUM!!
mmmm, onions! I love the garnishes! Happy (belated) Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! The green onion dish looks wonderful! I love egg salad too. Your presentations are always so well done!
Hi Cynthia:
Glad I have a wonderful person like you to add to my niece collection.
I visit your site just to drool over those mouth watering recipes.
Your paratha slide show is outstanding.
Geeta Aunty
Oh I love those onion garnish pic's!
Happy belated birthday to you. I hope it was wonderful!
Cynthia, I love what you did to the onions!! :)
Have a wonderful day, Margot
I just adore green onions! The more the better. Your pictures are perfect, as usual.
Cynthia: I am coming back to Barbados in November. If you have time, do you have any suggestions about where a vegan like me can eat? I vaguely remember that Oistens had some veggies (My husband eats fish, so he'll want to go there.) Does macaroni pie contain cheese? ;)
Happy belated birthday, Cynthia! I, too, have many green onions from the garden--these recipes are putting mine to shame, though!
Looks delicious!
Happy belated birthday, Cynthia! Thank you for sharing these great ideas for green onions. I particularly love the look of your paratha. There is a stir-fried Taiwanese beef dish that uses a lot of green onions. I will get the recipe for you from Eric's mom - it's simple but wonderfully tasty.
Happy Belated birthday Cynthia! Many happy returns:)
and ouuh, love these dishes, absolutely yummilicious!
Green onions, spring onions, scallions....we have come to expect them in so many dishes:D
Belated birthday wishes, honey.
Happy B'day, Cyn!
Aren't those onions awesome (I love you pics!), can't wait to pull mine out of the ground, *so* excited!
Belated Happy Birthday Cynthia! I hope you had a fabulous time.
Did you grow those in the first picture with the purple ends? I've never seen those here. I bet you could just grill those and sprinkle sea salt and eat them just like that.
I am now so addicted to your site. Fantastic! These dishes are so gorgeous.
