Green Onion Curls

These are a simple but effective garnish that can be used to brighten up anything from anitpasto platters to simple dips and main course entrees. Using fresh, crisp, green onions, cut the dark green top portion off so that the green onion is 3-4 inches long. Slice off the root end. With a small sharp paring knife, cut multiple horizontal slits in each end of the green onion, making sure not to cut through at the center. The more slits you make the more curls you´ll get. Place the prepared green onions in a bowl of ice water and place in the refrigerator for at about 20-30 minutes. Use as desired.
