Used to go to the Kentucky Bow Classic on Lake Cummberland this time of Year. The Campground was loaded with Ramps - We cooked  them - used them just like Onions. Really enjoyed them ! Bob

Who asked you???  Oh yeah, I did. 


Thanks everyone.  I picked up two very fat rainbow trout yesterday and I think they and the ramps are going to be Sunday Dinner for me!

JW,
I pick and eat rampsl every spring! Here in western New York they cover whole hill sides.
The best meal I ever ate was ramps and morels sautee'd in butter and served with grilled back strap and rice! :P

Chop them up fine and add them to your scrambled eggs or tuna fish for sandwich's.

you can add the leaves to a salad, or wilt them in bacon grease with some spinach.

They are great in potato soup! -C-

Crisp up some bacon and sautee the sliced ramps and then mix crumbled bacon, ramps and feta or shredded cheddar and stuff some morels, dredge in egg and bread crumbs and deep fry, great dipped in your favorite sauce! :OK
 I could go on and on but you get the idea, they will be great with your trout.

One thing about ramps though, they don't soften up like onions when you cook them, they will stay crisp and crunchy.

Sounds like you have a great market store to shop at.

JW_Halverson:
I had read time and time again that ramps were overpowering onion/garlic, but these were mild.  I simply washed, trimmed roots, and cut in half where the green met the white.  I laid the white portion on either side of the trout in the skillet and then laid the greens over top the whites to wilt while the bulp end browned just slightly.

Lemme tell ya, this was great!  I would use ramps in all kinds of things if I had a regular supply that was not $19/lb.  You folks saying you have hillsides "rampant" with them are not appreciative!
