wild about ramps

Spring in America signals the arrival of wild ramps. Their availability is very limited and season short-lived. Read New York Magazine's take on this season's crop.
They're quite fragile to ship so we had to trim away some of the leafy ends that were damaged by too much moisture in the packing.
A taste of Spring grass, garlic and onion added to buttered linguine.
They also make a great addition or substitution to Chinese leeks in homemade pork and ramp dumplings. Serve steamed, boiled or fried (like a pot sticker).
