Scallion Flowers

Break off whiskers; do not cut, so base remains intact. Cut petal-like shapes into the bulb of the scallion, rather deeply into the body. Cut around until you have cut 4 or 5 petals with tips facing up toward green portion. Then hold bulb in one hand and with other pull the stalk out. It should come out easily because it has been cut through. Separate the petals with your fingers gently. Soak in cold water until the petals open. Keep refrigerated in cold water until used.
