Grilled Scallions with Lemon

Thank you to Teresa, a CSA shareholder from Philadelphia, for sharing this scallion recipe with us, which comes from a 2003 edition of Gourmet. Teresa writes, "Even without lemon, they were awesome and a great way to savor the scallions that are so plentiful this time of year."

Grilled Scallions with Lemon
Ingredients
12 large scallions (10 ounces total), trimmed, leaving most of greens attached
½ teaspoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ lemon

Directions
Toss scallions with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Line up scallions side by side on a work surface and thread skewers, 1 at a time, crosswise through all scallions to form a solid rectangle. (Skewers should be inserted about 2 inches from each end.) Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once or twice, until softened and charred in patches, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer scallions to a platter and squeeze lemon evenly over them, then remove skewers.
