Cebollitas Cambray Asadas
Description
This recipe involves grilling Cebollitas Cambray, or Mexican green onions, which are often larger than typical scallions. After washing and trimming, they are cooked on a hot grill for about ten minutes until soft to the touch, developing a charred, smoky exterior while retaining a slight crunch inside.
Once grilled, the onions are drizzled with a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lime juice. This combination adds savory, umami, and acidic notes that balance the natural sweetness of the onions. Black pepper is added for mild heat, and no additional salt is needed due to the soy sauce's saltiness.
This dish works well as a grilled side, accompaniment to meats, or as a light snack. If Mexican green onions are unavailable, large scallions can be substituted by doubling the quantity. Leaving a longer green stem helps when handling on the grill.
Ingredients
- 8 green onion Cebollas Cambray (Mexican green onions) or scallions
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Salsa Inglesa or Maggi sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by washing and removing the roots from the top of the onions. You can leave as much of the green part as you want. If you're going to grill them, it's recommended to leave at least 3 inches of the green part so that they're easier to handle.
- Place on a hot grill and rotate often with a pair of barbecue tongs. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they feel soft to the touch.
- Drizzle the soy and worcestershire sauce mixture and some lime juice. Optional: add a little bit of black pepper. No salt needed as the soy sauce it's salty enough.
Notes
- If Mexican green onions (Cebollas Cambray) are unavailable, use larger scallions as a substitute, doubling the amount.
- Leaving about 3 inches of green tops intact helps with handling on the grill.
- No additional salt is needed because the soy sauce provides sufficient seasoning.
