Ingredients

10 bunches scallions

1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Step 3

    While scallions are cooking, stir together butter, zest, parsley, salt, and pepper.

    Step 4

    Drain scallions in a colander, then arrange in a shallow serving dish and gently brush with lemon parsley butter.
