OK, class. Take your seats. Tonight’s dinner special comes with a pretty cool horticulture lesson.

Introducing: Ramp Risotto with Almond & Pine Nut Crusted Fluke.

Now, what exactly is a “ramp”?

Good Q.

With their small white bulbs and stringy roots, ramps — AKA wild leeks — look like ordinary spring onions, but there’s nothing ordinary about these bulbous perennials.

Edible from top to bottom, inside and out, ramps are actually a rare delicacy, available for just a few brief weeks in the spring.

They thrive in wild wooded areas along the Appalachian mountain range, and take years to crop up.

But the moment they surface, ramps have to be reaped — carefully by hand, so gently that foragers often harvest only one leaf per plant.

(Hence, why you don’t see these onion lookalikes at your local supermarket).

But lucky for us, our old, dear friend knows of various secret ramp habitats along the Hudson Valley and, together with his daughters, he harvests them for us.

Once a iykyk kind of thing, the secret’s now out, which means there are concerns about over-harvesting….and our ramp dishes selling out.

So, stop by tonight for the ramp special, and stick around to learn more.
