It’s that time again, y’all! Spring is here. Our Executive Chef’s Recipe of the Month is Pickled Ramps! We are so lucky to be in a region where ramps bountifully grow. Try this delicious, onion-y root. It is absolutely delightful when pickled!
Pickled Ramps
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp. kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 2 lb. ramps, cleaned, green leaves trimmed to 1″ past white and red parts

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring a 4-qt. saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add ramps and cook until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, place ramps in an ice bath. Drain and place in a sterilized 1-qt. glass jar with airtight lid.
