Ramps
VegetarianWild ramps deliver a punchy garlic-onion kick that defines spring cooking.
Ramps, or wild leeks, are a fleeting spring treasure with broad green leaves and a slender white bulb that tastes like a cross between garlic and onion. Both the leaves and bulbs go on pizza: the bulbs sliced and softened, the leaves added late so they wilt without scorching. Their pungent, savoury bite pairs naturally with other spring vegetables and salty cured pork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use ramp leaves or bulbs on pizza?
Both. Slice and soften the white bulbs like a mild garlic, and add the tender green leaves near the end of baking so they wilt and keep their colour instead of scorching.
What do ramps taste like?
Ramps taste like a punchy cross between garlic and onion, with a green, herbal note. They are more assertive than scallions, so a little goes a long way on a pizza.
