These sautéed wild ramps are a simple and delicious with a mild, garlicky-onion flavor and made with just a few ingredients. It’s a great side dish to enjoy in spring. Watch the video above to see how I make it in my kitchen!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 bunch ramps (about 2 ounces)

  • pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper

  • A splash of balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and remove any damaged outer layers on the ramps. Trim ends if necessary. Then dry them.
  2. Heat a large heavy pan (cast iron or steel is best) on medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil.

  3. Add the ramps and spread them out.

  4. Let them to cook until they begin to wilt and start to blister on first side before flipping. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  5. Flip and toss for a few minutes until just wilted and tender. After a few minutes on each side they are ready.
  6. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and fresh pepper. They are nice with a splash of balsamic vinegar, but it’s optional.
