Green onion tops

[my_psychosis]

My man loves green onions. But only the bottom. He eats them raw as a snack all the time and throws out the tops. I hate wasting food so I thought I'd ask for some ideas of what I could do with the tops.

chop them up, use in salads, or cooked in place of onions in a savory dish. i use the tops and part of bottoms in cooking.

...add them to other leftover vegetables, a can of Great White Northern Beans, can of diced tomatoes, basil, thyme, garlic, and chickenstock for SOUP

Chop them fine and add to scrambled eggs.

My kids always ate the tops and left the bottoms. I use both in salad and cooking.

If I have green onions I use the whole thing in mashed potatoes...The greeens willl work well in mashed potatoes, or fried I slice them fine, salt and pepper tasty and mild.

I use them, along with the bottom part, in anything I use onion in, but my two favorite uses are as a substitute for chives on a baked potato with sour cream, and in salad.

I use them in a marinade for flank steak, you use soy, sherry, scallions, garlic, S&P, and veggie oil... Mix all together and marinate for 24 hours, then I grill...

You can also use chicken, or pork...

Chop them up, and sprinkle them on a salad.

I wan to share a recipe which include green onion tops or green onions or green onions with tops or scallion tops or scallions or spring onions or green onion stems or fresh scallions or whole green onions or spring onion leaves or dried green onion flakes as ingredients.

5) 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
6) 1/3 cup fresh mint, chopped
7) 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
8) 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
9) 8 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed

4) Place 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface, keeping remainder covered with damp towel to prevent drying out. Brush lightly with some of the butter; top with second sheet and brush lightly with butter. Centre 1 breast on phyllo about 2 inches (5 cm) from short edge; fold long sides over chicken and roll up. Repeat with remaining chicken.
