Caramelized Wild Ramps in Browned Butter
This quick, flavor-enhancing recipe will add awesomeness to everything from your breakfast-time sunny-side-up eggs and avocado toast to your juicy steak dinner. Browning the butter adds to the depth of flavor the caramelized ramps provide. Using grass-fed butter makes this on point for your Keto diet, too.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 bunches wild ramps
- 3 Tbsp grass-fed butter unsalted
- A pinch of salt
- Freshly ground rainbow peppercorns to taste
Instructions
- Wash the ramps in a large bowl of water, swizzling them around to release any grit. Remove, rinse and pat dry. Slice off the root ends and discard.
- Add tablespoons of the butter to a large skillet (preferably light in color) and melt over medium heat, stirring or swirling constantly. Browning takes time and patience. You will know it’s browned when it has foamed and the foam has subsided, brown specks have appeared and it gives off a nutty, rich aroma. Add the ramps, stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 4 minutes until they have wilted and have some slightly charred spots.
