Scored some beautiful local ramps this weekend. I had never cooked them before. They came out great. Here's my recipe, informed by multiple internet sources.
1 bunch ramps, with tops, roots removed.
1 small zucchini
olive oil
salt
Cut off the leaves off the ramps where they begin to grow wide and flat. Leave the round stems attached to the bulbs. If any bulbs are much bigger than others, cut these in half lengthwise. Set aside the leafy tops and cut into 3cm lengths. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1cm thick slices.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over low-moderate heat. Add the ramp bulbs. Cover and sweat for about 10 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to medium-high, and add the squash. Saute for 5 minutes or until the zucchini has begun to brown and is tender. Add the ramp tops and saute until wilted - about another minute or two. Salt to taste and serve.
