    After a recent visit to one of my produce vendors, I was excited to see that they had black garlic and ramps. Of course they did. They are one of the top produce vendors that service many of the restaurants in the City. My first thought was to make a ramp and black garlic pesto. Different. Very. But, you would have to be a true garlic lover for this one, since the ramps have a robust garlic flavor all by themselves. Add the sweet and syrupy molasses flavor of black garlic and quite a combination is the result. I used toasted pine nuts as the traditional pesto nut for this one. And as with any pesto, this is perfect with pasta.

    Ingredients

    • 1 bunch of ramps
    • 4 cloves of black garlic
    • 1/3 cup of pine nuts, toasted
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. Separate the ramp tops from the stems. Wash ramp tops well. Dry in salad spinner.
    2. Place ramps, black garlic, toasted pine nuts into a food processor or blender and process until ingredients are combined. While machine is running, drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 1 cup of pesto
