Hi All-

i have 24 bunches of green onions that have no tops. Any suggestions on how I can use them? My first thoughts were tabbouleh or I remember a jerk seasoning recipe in Fine cooking that used lots of green onions. I would appreciate any suggestions, because they will probably end up chopped and frozen in a plastic bag. Thanks for any suggestions!!

Cut off roots, braise the onions in chicken or beef stock, drain well, and nestle into a buttered gratin. Top with a nice gentle bechamel, top that with a scatter of cheese, and bake til golden.

Braise as above, top with slices of brie or reblochon, rind and all, and bake in a very slow oven for thirty minutes or so, til the cheese oozes and the little bits of green peeking through are withering and shining a bit.

Cut, confit, and serve for special meals during the holidays.

Or make packets: Tear two pieces of foil, stack, butter a circle about the size of a salad plate. Lay out six or eight of the little onions on the butter, salt a bit, and top with with a nice thick pork chop or chicken breast. Salt, scatter thyme or a little curl of sage, top with sliced potatoes or baby carrots or several rings of red or gold bell pepper. Top with a spoonful of stock or fond or geleed cold stock.

Or, heck, with a little spoonful right out of the Campbell's "Cream of" can.

Fold up into a tight fold, with a little room left ballooned out for the steam to work, and bake for an hour at 325.

Serve in the packet (be careful opening), with a salad, fruit salad, or green vegetable.

Trim and wash the onions, then freeze in double Freezer bags, to make any of the above when needed.

That sounds good!
