An even bigger and better crop this year!!! I know I've talked about these every year, but they are so good.

So, tonight I'm making two small pizzas - one the Buffalo Bruschetta topping one and the other a Garlic Scape pizza. This is one of our all time favorite pizzas and such a nice light summer (grilled) dinner

10 garlic ramps(~3 oz.)
Olive oil for brushing
4 oz. coarsely grated fresh mozz.
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (or a combination of Parm/Reg and Romano)

Bring salted water to a boil; blanch the ramps until they are bright green but still al dente, about 1 minute. Drain pat dry and cut into 1" lengths.

Brush a pizza dough round with olive oil and sprinkle on the grated mozz. Scatter the blanched ramps over the mozz and season with salt & pepper (Be sure to do this step - it just brings out the flavors perfectly). top with the Parm/Regg. Cook your favorite way.

---

Also going to try sauteeing up some with garlic, olive oil/butter, and some kind of light seasoning and freeze - to see if it works. These have such a short season, that if this works, wow, how fun to have them available for a while.

I'm also making a Garlic Scape dressing and Orzo Risotto with Mushrooms and Garlic Scapes. You can make a pesto out of the ramps/scapes also.

You might look for these at your farmers markets.

you know I forgot to add that I have such a wonderful longing for this pristine (don't know where that came from, but it fits ) and simple pizza after the ramps are just a memory, I have made this with green onions and served it with a green salad for dinner. Great that way also.

Jean how about pickling some to put in salads?

I was told to reduce down some Champayne Vinegar and when it was thick

to put scapes in and let set a few days and start using.

Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not right, then it's not yet the end.

They are good in salads also - the reduction sounds very good also.
