Sautéed Chive or Scallion Flowers

No title will quite give it justice, but these are allium treasures.  

Lightly sautéed and they become an amazing topping for meats, salads, burgers, sandwiches, toast....really let your imagination go. Mari has been treating us to these to spice up our lunches!  

 Ingredients

Chive or Scallion blossoms - as many as you want to eat

Fat of your choice, tastier the fat, tastier the dish (Think roasted chicken fat, lard, remant fat from cooking chorizo or bacon...or butter will do)

Heat/melt fat in your choice of skillet.  

Break apart the chive or Scallion blossoms into the hot fat.  

Sauté for a few minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.
