For this spring-themed appetizer recipe, use the best scallops you can find — preferably dry-packed diver scallops.
Ramps, if you've never had them before, are the wild cousin of leeks. They have a sharper, more onion-like flavor like scallions, and soft, edible green leaves.

Here's a quick and easy spring side dish that will go well with a perfectly grilled steak or fillet of fish. I start with a quick roux to make the thickening agent for the cream sauce, and preserve the fresh and spicy flavor of ramps by cooking them only briefly.

Of all the spring ingredient has to offer, ramps are highly favored processed with nutty pecorino cheese, walnuts, and olive oil.

Ramps, if you've never had them before, are wild leeks that pop up with a very limited season during the spring. They taste a bit like scallions — spicy and pungent, but with fresh herbal notes. The leaves form a deep green pesto that's got more kick than any other pesto you've probably tasted, even arugula. So, a little goes a long way then. Use with caution.

In the context of the question of whether the chicken or the egg (or in this case, the pesto or the risotto) came first, the ramp pesto is the medalist in this recipe. After trying a spoonful of it — raw — from a batch my friend made on his farm, Ralston Farm, in New Jersey, I decided immediately that I would put it in my risotto recipe that I was developing for the week. Roasted asparagus is mixed in to give the risotto another taste of spring, but the real star of this dish is the pesto. Fair warning, though: Try not to eat all of it straight from the jar before you make the risotto.

Chimichurri gets a springtime twist with the addition of ramps. The raw ramps add a spicy allium flavor to the refreshing topping and serve as a counterpoint to the richness of this well marbled cut.

This is my favorite vegetable. Ramps show up early and often on our menu, but no option is more popular than this dish. Pangrattato, if you've never had it before, is a topping made with old bread, spiced up with a little chile and rounded out with some anchovy for some richness. It's the perfect accompaniment to this pasta dish.
