Butter Braised Spring Onions
These Butter Braised Spring Onions tender, fragrant and sweet. You can also grill them. Spring onions resemble scallions in appearance and flavor, but with a bulb at the bottom, instead of completely straight. Still mild in flavor, spring onions have just a touch more spiciness to them when eaten raw.
