Grilled spring onion pesto

Pesto Italian cuisine

Grill

This recipe is a minor revamping of a Charred Green Onion Pesto I made last summer to go with grilled flank steak. http://www.food52.com/recipes/13408_grilled_flank_steak_with_charred_green_onion_pesto <br />Spring onions generally have a rounded bulb and their greens are more robust than scallions. They also have a more pungent flavor. Because the greens are sturdier, they don't char as much on the grill as green onions. This pesto is great served warm with grilled steak or tossed with roasted or grilled potatoes. If you can't find spring onions, scallions make a fine substitute - pick the fattest ones you can find, and use 2 bunches.
