What to do with a million green onions? I've gotten them every week in my CSA basket for the last 5 weeks. Despite throwing some in everything, I've got a backlog and I'm predicting there will be more.

I'm making a batch of shrimp & chive (green onion) dumplings tonight, but any other ideas on ways to use them up?

Green onion pesto? Or you could make a big batch of compound butter and freeze it for future use?

what about making a quiche or frittata with your green onions? Or just grilling them with some sea salt, served with a sqeeze of lime...yum.

Use them in a pasta filling, like ricotta and green onion cannelloni. Or make scallion pancakes. Or blend them with some yogurt or sour cream for a a cooling summer dip?

I would like an entire meal of all these things!

The only thing left I could think of is a frou-frou flan or custard.

Heavy cream and half and half brought just to the boil then blended with a ton of scallions, salt and a touch of cayenne pepper.

The mixture can then be gently whisked into some whole eggs and egg yolks, strained and immediately chilled or poured into ramekins and baked until set.

This would be nice unmolded into the center of a soup bowl and surrounded with an onion soup, with scallions of course.

Fried rice is a great way to use a lot of spring onions plus it uses up leftover rice too.

this chicken & green onion cobbler seems good:

Green onion in quiche, corn bread, savory muffins, roasted root vegetables, and fried rice as mentioned! hmm, my grandmother used to fry up some 2" lengths of green onion in oil before adding mashed beans to make tasty refried beans.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've banked them all for future use. Between the shrimp & chive dumplings and a frittata, the huge bunch of green onions has been whittled down to size.

The custard and cobbler recipes have me especially intrigued....I associate them with sweets and never thought there would be savoury versions.

Chives are green onions? I thought scallions were green onions.

robyn,
You're right of course. Scallions are green onions, not chives. It was just a substitution I made....Not exactly a good one either. The dumplings lacked a certain toothsomeness.
