Recipe

• 1 wash the ramps under running water, pull off any translucent outer skins that are clinging to the root end. then trim the roots off.
• 2 toss the ramps in olive oil to coat along with salt and pepper. put them on a hot, well oiled grill with the higher heat hitting the stems, lower heat on the leaves (what configuration this ends up being depends on your grill design).
• 3 grill ramps for about 2 minutes a side. the greens can be somewhat charred and the root end should have nice grill marks.
