Grilled Ramps

1. 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. 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. 3

   Grill ramps for about 2 minutes a side. The greens can be somewhat charred and the root end should have nice grill marks.

4. 4

   If you don't have access to a grill, you can also use an oiled cast-iron grill pan or skillet on a kitchen stove. Just turn your stove's heat up to high and make sure the pan is very hot before adding the ramps.
