You can make this recipe and add to rice, pasta, gnocchi (featured in pic), scrambled eggs or vegetables. You can adjust the flavors by the type of spices or herbs you add. Always make it fresh. We used the milder scallions but green onion or other onion varieties are excellent choices. Fresh garlic is a must. This is a gentle, slow cook, so do not overheat your pan. Thank you to the kind people, in Safeway recently, who said they enjoy reading my column!

Ingredients

Plump scallion, ½ mince (¼ cup )

Garlic, 3 cloves, minced

Preparation

Over moderate heat, add oil to sauté pan. Add the scallion and garlic. Gently mix. As it softens, crumble dried sage between your hands. Toss in or crumble over the pan. When the scallions become translucent, remove from heat. Add over your chosen main ingredient and mix in.
