Olivia Lopez’s Scallion Condiment

Use this simple yet delicious condiment as a cheffy flourish for all kinds of dishes — spooning it around a plate or drizzling it on top of fish or chicken, tostadas or tlayudas or tetelas. It’s the creation of chef Olivia Lopez, founder of Molino Olōyō in Dallas, and Cooks Without Borders’ resident Mexican cuisine expert. Olivia uses it on (among other things) a gorgeous Scallop Ceviche Tostada and Pollo en Pipián Rojo.
