    This looks like leeks 😋 make leek and potato soup!

  2. You can chop and freeze! I also chop a bunch on Sunday and just use as garnish on literally everything; rice bowls, baked potatoes, braised meats, baked fish, baked potatoes, tuna salad sandwiches, scrambled eggs, etc.

    For long term storage I would slice it up thin and dehydrate it. You could add it to anything after that.
    Maybe caramelize a bunch of them and freeze that? Add to stir fry and such.

    Those are leeks. Not quite the same thing lol

    Pretty sure those are leeks unless you found the GMO jackpot for green onion girth

    For those of you saying these are leeks and messaging me that I’m dumb, please stop. These are Green Onions, scallions, purchased from the grocery store I planted in the fall.

    I do this every year and know the difference because I’m an avid gardener. I just had way too many this year.

    Leeks are distinctly different, you are wrong. Please stop messaging me names.

    Here’s a link for those that keep arguing with me in chat: [Yes Onions Grow This Big](https://sowtrueseed.com/blogs/gardening/how-to-grow-green-onions#:~:text=Many%20green%20onion%20varieties%20will%20get%20quite,tall%20and%20a%20couple%20inches%20in%20diameter!&text=They%20can%20be%20harvested%20at%20any%20size%2C,much%20as%2012%20inches%20of%20red%20stalk)

  7. Chop into small pieces, flash freeze them on a cheap aluminum tray and after 15 minutes sweep it all into a ziplock bag of your preferred size. Freeze. They will stay separated and you can use a handful at a time.

    cut em up and freeze them! then throw them in dishes as needed.

    Double stuffed potatoes or green onion cakes or perhaps try dehydrating them in a super super low oven?

  10. How do you eat these? The ones I grew from the grocery store are bigger and super bitter.

    You should make leek soup! I recommend buying some green onions to add to it

    Asian noodles with lots of spring onions.

    Carmelize them. Then add to a brocoli cheese casserole. Also, tasty in broccoli soup where you use broccoli stalks.

    Use with chicken.

    Freeze with other veg and scraps and use to make vegetable broth or chicken broth and freeze the broth into cubes. That’s what I do with my leftover veg and it’s so helpful to just be able to throw homemade broth into everything as needed

    Those are some big green onions 😳 I love green onions yum

    My great grandma use to clean them dip end in salt and just eat them ..they were on dinner table like rolls

    Otherwise I would dehydrate them if you have a dehydrator. If not, maybe freeze them in a baggie and use them for other things that you’re cooking

  17. I love to use the green leaves for scrambled eggs/omelette. My grandma used to do it to avoid any waste and it’s genuinely delicious and for me such an association that the spring has come!

    The best hack I have seen for lettuce and onions is to not wash it but to double wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and place in crisper.

    Two thing I would personally do:

    1) make a bunch of scallion pancakes (sometimes called green onion cakes) and freeze them for sidedisjes. Pairs excellently with stirfry, soups and other Asian dishes. Dip in sweet Chilli sauce for a delicious treat!

    2) take the rest of your scallions and make scallion oil. It’s any neutral oil infused with the flavor of scallions. Amazing for cooking, marinating and sald dressings.

    Slice and freeze. You can make savoury green onion pancakes

    Green onion ginger sauce, so good and few ingredients

    I got an abundance of these last year. Scallion pancakes, kimchi, and powder were the most enjoyable/practical way for me to get through them. They were also good in soup like you mentioned. I find the larger version of a scallion is slightly tough for me to enjoy raw and on the applications I usually use the grocery store type for

    any recipe from Aaron and Claire on YouTube!

    Grill them in olive oil with skirt steak for carne asada tacos (you can dice them or just bite in like a carrot – salt and a dash of lime are great too). You can really char the outsides and they still taste great the trick is just to make sure they cook most of the way through.
