spring onion recipes please

[learntojive]

I've just been given a load of spring onions, I do cook and have loads of recipes but have never made anything with spring onions.
Can anyone suggest anything?
All the recipes I've found call for just 1 or 2 onions, I've got 5 big bunches.
Thanks

I always use spring onions in stir frys.

Onion Salad

3 bunches green onions, chopped
2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed

Toss together the green onions and hard-cooked eggs until blended. Stir in the mayonnaise.

Carefully stir in the crackers until well coated.

Serve immediately so the crackers do not get soggy.

3 bunches green onions, chopped
2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
235 ml mayonnaise
136 g saltine crackers, crushed

Grilled Onions

12 green onions, rinsed, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Preheat a grill for medium-low heat.
Cut a sheet of aluminum foil to about 12x15 inches.
Arrange the green onions side by side in the center of the foil sheet. Sprinkle the onions evenly with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
Arrange butter over the onions.
Keeping the green onions flat, fold the foil to make a sealed cooking pouch.
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill away from the main heat source. Allow the green onions to steam 5 to 7 minutes.

12 green onions, rinsed, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
30 g butter, cut into small pieces

Preheat the oven to 220C/400F/gas 6.

Prepare the filling. Remove the core and seeds of the peppers and dice finely.

Heat the oil and fry off the peppers with the onion and garlic.

Add the tomatoes, ham and chicken and bring to the boil. Add seasoning and remove from the heat.

Divide the bread dough in half and roll out on a floured surface in two rounds approximately 12 inches in diameter.

Place one round on a greased baking tray. Spread on the chicken mix to within 1cm of the edge and brush with egg wash.

Place a second round on top and press the edges down to seal. Score with a knife and brush with beaten egg and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Spring onion relish: Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend.

Serve the pie with the relish and a mixed dressed salad.

Thanks very much everyone for your suggestions, plenty for me to look at there :o)

They are nice used as a garnish on salads and soups, but for a nice side dish, chop them up and add them to a saucepan of creamed potato (typical Irish dish called Champ)

[nickmo]

....900 here

Should be of interest?

[learntojive]

Thanks Chazza
...and thanks also Nickmo, I've added that site to my favourites, don't know how I've not come across it before :o)

Hi L - if epicurious is of interest, I'll give you a plug for:

http://www.astray.com/recipes

http://www.thefoody.com/recipes.html

http://www.gourmetsleuth.com

http://whfoods.org Worlds Healthiest Foods site with stacks of info and recipes (scroll down for link on left)

http://www.recipelink.com

and one of the other ones is http://www.recipezaar.com

You may have some of these already, but between the Astray site, Epicurious and the others that offer search by ingredient, I reckon they are some of the more useful one on the web. The BBC food site is pretty good, and Delia Online turns up the odd idea, but I find some of the info on those two soemtimes rather un-inspiring...

There are a couple of other UK site I use regularly for refreshing the brain with some suggestions about seasonal produce too, like Veg Box Recipes and the Seafish.org site is good too...

Ta for now, and bon appetit..!

Chopped up in mashed potato is very tasty & the fry up of leftovers just as nice.

Thanks ladies (apologies if you're not!)

...some great links there thank you, I'll take a look.
I have a passion for food and hundreds of books but I do tend to look online for recipes nowadays.
There looks to be some good vegetarian and fish recipes on there too - my daughter is a veggie so I'm always interested in new ideas. Thanks very much.

I use spring onions to make my homemade coleslaw!! No cutting up a large onion! Good luck

[learntojive]

I've used them now but that's a great idea, and one I'll def try.
I make coleslaw quite a lot and sometimes regular onions are just a bit overpowering
Thanks
