Ingredients

  • 12 scallions
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste

Method

  • Bring a large saucepan half-full of well-salted water to a boil.
  • Trim the scallions and cut off all but 2 inches of their dark green tops.
  • Place them in the boiling water for 1 minute.
  • Immediately drain the scallions and plunge them into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set their color.
  • When cooled, drain again and dry between layers of paper towels.
  • Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the butter and oil.
  • When the butter has melted and the pan is very hot, add the scallions.
  • Cook, tossing gently, until the scallions just begin to brown, about 1 minute.
  • Immediately sprinkle them with sea salt and transfer to dinner plates or a small platter and serve.
