Think of rampsas wild onions or wild leeks, a perfect option for a vegetable side dish. Grill them quickly to make the most of their earthy flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (about 20) ramps

  • 1 bunch thin asparagus

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Trim and discard the root hairs from ramps. Trim tough ends from asparagus.

  2. Place ramps and asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

  3. Arrange ramps and asparagus on the hot grill in a single layer. Grill until hot and grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to platter, and serve hot or at room temperature.
