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.

Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing

Years ago, I made this Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing recipe for my husband who loved it. Over the years, he has asked me to make it again, but I couldn't remember where I got the recipe. Well, I found it! It’s in Gourmet LA: A Collection of Fresh and Elegant Recipes (1989). The Junior League cookbooks are generally excellent.

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu is a delicious salad, though I will admit a bit time consuming. Pressing all the liquid out of the tofu, then marinating and roasting it, makes this dish so flavorful.
