Ingredients
12
large scallions (10 oz total), trimmed, leaving most of greens attached
Special equipment: 2 (8-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
1.
Toss scallions with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Line up scallions side by side on a work surface and thread skewers, 1 at a time, crosswise through all scallions to form a solid rectangle. (Skewers should be inserted about 2 inches from each end.) Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once or twice, until softened and charred in patches, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer scallions to a platter and squeeze lemon evenly over them, then remove skewers.
3.
If you aren\'t able to grill outdoors, cook scallions (without skewers) in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
