Ramps are here!
I love them grilled with olive oil, salt & pepper. So easy and so good.
Ramp compound butter is another favorite.
I was hoping to find some morels, but no luck today. I picked the pheasant back I found a couple of days ago.
Anyone else spend hours in the woods looking for mushrooms?
I usually pickle my ramps, but made a mignonette sauce for raw oysters and also made ramp Rockefeller. They say they are rare, but I have probably 20 acres of ramps at my place in Hocking County:
Guy who forages our ramps here in IN likes his with eggs as well. No morels here, yet, which sucks. I don’t think we’re going to get a lot before the cicadas come–yup year 17 for Brood X.
Same here! I was looking for morels, but I didn’t find any. It is supposed to rain today and then warm tomorrow, so my hope is it provokes them to pop. BTW, I have never foraged or prepared Ramps, but the scrambled eggs with them were really good!!
Had my first ramps of the year today, and they are always a delight. Just quickly seared with some smoked salt, and it was heavenly. Next time will be with pasta + parmigiano reggiano
