Dollop this verdant sauce atop our Dyed Deviled Eggs or Ramp Farinata, or use it to flavor our Roasted Leg of Lamb with Asparagus and Herbs.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches ramps (about 16), trimmed and chopped

  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for storage

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Pulse ramps in a food processor until finely chopped. With motor running, pour in oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. To store, transfer pesto to an airtight container, pour a thin layer of oil over top, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Cook's Notes

For a milder pesto, blanch the whole ramps in boiling water for one minute before processing.
