Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place olive oil in a large, shallow pan with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. When oil is warm, roll a bunch of ramps in paper towels to remove excess moisture, and unwrap. Reduce heat to medium, and add ramps to pan. Toss to coat each leaf with oil. Working quickly, dry second bunch and add to oil, tossing until ramps wilt. Continue with remaining ramps, adding more oil if necessary.

  2. Step 2

    When all ramps are wilted, season to taste and reduce heat to low, then stir and cover pot. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the ramps, stirring frequently to avoid burning. When ramps are very, very tender, remove pan from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Season again if desired, and serve.

What do you do for the other 40 minutes??

Typo. 2 tablespoons

Margit Moses

And what are you to do with the two cups of olive oil after braising ramps in it? Why two cups?

james

I agree. This seems to yield a very overcooked, melted bunch of tender ramps. I probably use a few TBS and cool gently.

LOVES TO COOK

TWO CUPS of olive oil? Can this really be? I love olive oil but this just doesn't make sense to me.

The result is really sublime!
