"This is originally from a 1995 Gourmet magazine. We like it as a side dish with anything grilled ( it's wonderful with steaks!) or roasted. It's a different sort of side dish and is always well received."

A great side dish we enjoyed with dinner. I used panko also and made half the recipe for the three of us. Made for New Zaar Cookbooks Tag.

Awesome! Very simple ingredients, but it turns out so delicious. I used panko bread crumbs but made no other changes. I can see this going well with any roasted or grilled meats. But since green onions are sort of a "springish" veggie, I think this would be especially good for an Easter dinner next to ham or whatever meat. Thanx for posting this.

I had to try this because I couldn't imagine a side dish of mostly just green onions. But this is very good and we enjoyed it alot. Thanks.
