The first signs of Spring at the Greenmarket come in the form of onion-y stalks or wild leeks known as ramps. They are in your face aromatic, green, vegetal and almost even a little over the top for all the right reasons if you like that sort of thing as I do. So today, I thought I'd provide you with a simple tartine recipe you could make with ramps to combat this positively winter like day we are experiencing.
I like ramps best with a nice char from a stove top grill. So marinade them with some EVOO, fresh ground black pepper, and sel de la guerande. Throw them on a stove top grill till they are browned and charred. Grab some nice thick slices of ciabatta bread and brush this with EVOO and grill just as you've grilled the ramps. Next up grab some of Salvatore Brooklyn's ricotta and place a nice spoonful of the ricotta your grilled bread. Top with some fresh arugula and your grilled ramps. Drizzle a tiny bit of EVOO over the top and grate some black pepper and enjoy. A simple delish nod to the beginnings of spring, which should have begun months ago.
