Ramp Pizza

Yum! I love this pizza. I saw this recipe for thin crust pizza using tortillas and it's amazing. I highly recommend it! I decided to try it with a white pizza to showcase the great ramps I got at the market. It's crispy, salty, gooey, has bite from the ramps and savory chewiness in the bacon. 

Seared Scallops with Ramp Butter

This is a great spring dinner. The puree is a perfect canvas for the scallops, and the ramp butter is a nice flavor and glaze. Be sure the scallops are dry before you sear them to get a nice sear. 

Serves 2

Ingredients:

10 sea scallops

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 tbsp ramp butter (recipe here)

Sunchoke, Celeriac, and potato puree

salt and pepper

Ramp Butter

It's that time of year again! Ramps are back. I was googling around for ramp recipes and found ramp butter. One of the most enticing but worst things about ramps is their short season. Pretty much now until the end of May. If you make ramp butter, you can just pop it in the freezer and slice off a slab any time. Can't wait to have corn with ramp butter in the summer!

Ingredients:

1 stick of butter, softened

4 ramps, roots removed, cleaned

1 tsp Maldon sea salt

Ramp Spaghetti

This is a Maria Batali recipe - very simple and just highlighting the ramp flavor. This is a perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ramp Crostini

Ramp recipe #2! This is also super simple and great for hors d'oeuvres in spring.
