ramp pesto is super delicious! When I worked at The French Laundry we used to make the most delicious ethereal ramp top soup, very simply blanched tops blitzed till silky with just a little cooked potatoes and chicken stock. Sometimes we rounded it out with cream. and topped it with sauteed morels and pickled ramp bulbs. During ramp season we would have ramp bulb pickling parties, we would all chip in time to help pickle those beautiful bulbs so we could use them on the menu as a beautiful flavour highlight throughout the year. We did a simple 2:1:1 vinegar water sugar hot pickle for the bulbs. so good.
