作为城市老鼠，我没有一个完整的花园的空间。这对植物来说是个好消息，因为我尝试饲养的几乎每种植物都死了缓慢而痛苦的死亡。尽管我的厄运记录记录了记录，但去年我还是决定尝试种植一些草药，因为我在厨房里使用了很多草药，而且因为与大多数其他植物相比，它们很难杀死。我很自豪地说，到生长季节结束时，我只无意间谋杀了约40％的植物。
这足以说服我今年再次尝试园艺。我有六个由升级的聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料冷却器组成的种植者，并且在这个有限的空间中，我只是在种植证明它们可以在我的瘟疫中幸存下来的东西，而且价格便宜。(As I have learned the hard way, the sting of plant death hurts more when you’ve spent a small fortune trying to keep them alive.) One such plant is the resilient scallion, which can be purchased and planted direct from your supermarket’s produce section. They’re tasty, versatile, and easily replaceable (in the event that they’d rather join the choir invisible than spend time with me). In early April, while my husband was ordering groceries, I asked him to buy a few scallions for one of our planters. This is what he bought:
起初，我认为这可能是一次意外。他可能试图订购12种单独的葱，而不是12个袋子（每个包含15个葱），因为这太疯狂了。但是我的丈夫解释说，我们需要成为180次葱的父母，因为他们的每袋只有0.79美元，而且我不太可能在将100扇捕获在地面之前杀死100次葱。
那是这个食谱的起源故事，可能还有更多食谱。幸运的是，葱很美味又多才多艺。这种调味料给它带来了很多味道鸡，，，，豆腐，如图所示，是基于植物的汉堡。（以免您认为我正在跳上无牛肉潮流，我绝不用过的很多肉在里面食谱我已经开发了为了这取出，，，，and no one’s ever noticed.) My bright, spicy, oniony Scallion Sauce is so damn good, I’ve almost forgiven my husband for my four planters full of scallions, which, I’m happy to report, are thriving, and will hopefully continue to do so until I murder them to make more sauce.
葱酱
- 2束大葱（大约12个）
- 3个丁香大蒜，切成薄片
- 1/4杯苹果醋
- 1/4杯水
- 1汤匙。蜂蜜
- 2茶匙。犹太盐
- 3/4茶匙。新鲜的胡椒
- 1-3墨西哥胡椒，播种和切碎（根据您对辛辣食物的耐受性，或多或少使用）
- 1茶匙地面香菜
- 2汤匙。橄榄油
- 额外的盐和胡椒粉调味
修剪葱的末端，然后切成两半，将白色和绿色的一半分开，然后将蔬菜放在一边。将白色切成薄片，然后将它们与切成薄片的大蒜一起放入一个小碗中。在小锅或微波安全容器中，将苹果醋，水，蜂蜜，犹太盐和胡椒粉混合在一起。加热，直到混合物开始煮熟，搅拌均匀，然后倒在葱白上。盖住碗，放置至少10分钟。
Slice the scallion greens into 1/2" pieces. (These don’t have to be perfect.) Put into a small mixing bowl with the minced jalapeño, ground coriander, olive oil, and a hefty pinch of salt. Use a small mesh strainer to drain the scallion whites, gently pressing down to squeeze out any excess pickling liquid. Add the scallion whites to the greens, mix well, cover, and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (The longer this sauce sits the better it tastes.) Before serving, taste the sauce for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper as you see fit. Use it on top of burgers, chicken, tofu, or just about anything else.
