Turkey Burger with Wild Leeks
I grew up eating turkey burgers and will order them over beef burgers most of the time (sorry burger aficionados.)
Ramp Pesto with Grilled Chicken
Like basil or parley, I feel that ramps lend themselves to a pesto. The flavors are bold but mellowed out a bit with the extra virgin olive oil, lemon and parmesan cheese.

Cherrystone Clams and Ramps Casino
This is my take on clams casino. It is meant to be a lighter, spring version of the traditional dish. The ramps are a nice compliment to the briny, sweet clams and I decided to use Panko breadcrumbs for additional texture.

Spring Ramp and Cannellini Bean Salad
Add all ingredients into a glass bowl and fold to incorporate. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Ratio should be 3 parts oil to 1 part oil. Fold ingredients one more time, cover and allow to sit in refrigerator for at least an hour to marinate.

Grilled Spring Ramps
Why mess with success? We all agree grilled vegetables are delicious. Ramps, with their pungent taste are perfect for grilling because it mellows the flavors a bit. Also the charring from the grill and a little acid from the lemon creates on stellar side dish.
