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.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

8 spring onions (about 1 pound), root ends trimmed

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided

Kosher salt

Directions

1Lay onions in a large skillet, trimming top of dark greens to fit. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Bring to a boil; cover. Reduce heat and simmer onions until greens are soft and bulbs are almost tender, 15-20 minutes. Uncover and cook, turning onions occasionally, until bulbs are completely tender, 5-8 minutes longer.

2Transfer onions to a plate. Simmer cooking liquid in skillet until reduced to 2 Tbsp., about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Return onions to skillet and turn to coat with sauce.
