Scallion Oil

Scallion (aka green onion) oil is wonderful for  adding a punch of flavor to meats, scrambled eggs,  salad dressings, and anything else you want. I keep  Scallion oil on hand for adding a special touch to recipes.

Cook Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 bunches Scallions (aka Green onions) Cut into 1 inch lengths
  • 2 cups Oil of choice I use peanut or avocado oil, but any high heat, mild flavor oil will work.

Instructions

  • I prefer to cook mine in a Wok but you can also use a large pot. Add the green onions and Oil to a cold Wok. Turn on the heat to Medium. You want the oil to be hot but below a simmer. Adjust heat as needed you do not want the onions to burn.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Scallions have shrunk and are starting to become golden and crispy.  Using a slotted spoon or mesh ladle, remove the scallion pieces. 
  • Allow the oil to cool before straining with cheese cloth and pouring into storage containers.
  • You can store on the counter for up to a month, or 2 months in the refrigerator. 

Notes

To store the oil you can find glass oil bottles here.
