Union Square Greenmarket: Ramps
In a moment both shimmering and tantalizing, ramps have arrived. Signifying the return of the fairy tale bounty of the summer Union Square Greenmarket, in flavor, ramps are a delightfully delicate cross between garlic and leek.
Trim off the bulb, and wash, pying attention to where the leaves separate.
Zucchini Ramp Omelet
-
Sauté one small diced zucchini in Ronnybrook Farm Dairy butter.
-
Chiffonade three ramps (roll them into a cigar and slice them thinly). Add to sauté.
-
Beat up two Quattro’s Game Farm eggs – try their peasant or duck eggs and adjust number according to size - and crumble in either Lynnhaven Farm goat cheese or add Ronnybrook’s Jalapeno Farmers Cheese. Add mixture to sauté.
-
Now demonstrate your divine omelet technique and serve with Hawthorne Valley Farms biodynamic apricot ginger scones.
