Sautéed Scallions & Garlic (Mock Wild Ramps)

Heat oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add scallion pieces and cook, stirring often, until slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook until the garlic is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. If you prefer more tender scallions, add 1 teaspoon of water and cover the pan for 2 to 3 minutes to wilt the vegetables. Serve hot.
