Porter brought these little wild onions home from scouts the other night. Hunter picked some out in our field, and transplanted them in our onion garden. Seems this tri-state area has an affinity for these little wild onions. Imagine my surprise yesterday when the local paper, with a weekly article by a local chef, devoted the page space to this onion/garlic little greenery known locally as ramp. It is actually quite nutritious and "offers an abundance of flavor to any dish that calls for garlic or onion." It is a relative of the leek family. She used it in a white bean, sausage slow cooked stew. Honey, guess what's for dinner!Friday, April 24, 2009

Yummy! Sure beats what we had tonight... (nothing)
We were too tired to eat, and there was not much to be had in the cupboards!
(Lame, I know. Don't tell mom)
I think that would be fun to find these little treasures. Did you end up making the stew? Sounds delicious!
Good stuff! Love having fresh stuff from the garden. I hope that you have great success this year with yours. :)
