“This is a really easy way to enjoy ramps (also known as wild leeks) in springtime. The origins of this recipe are Italian, where they call this method, agrodolce, or sweet-and-sour. How easy is this? It’s just sautéed ramps or baby leeks, simmered in a mixture of white wine vinegar and honey.”

Time: Preparation 20 minutes

Serving: 4

Ingredients

  • 24 ramps
  • salt
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon white wine
  • 3 tablespoon sherry
