Ramps (aka Wild Leeks) are up in Wisconsin now, they are an onion that grows in the wild, along streams and rivers. The tops look somewhat like Lily-of-the-Valley, you can easily tell by smelling them, if you have ramps, obviously they smell like onions. Notice in the picture above a hint of burgundy color just below the leaves, this will also help you with proper identification. They are a bit stronger than a regular table onion so use them sparingly. Below are links for recipes using ramps…
