Ramps are wild onions.<\/p>\n

They grow in wooded and damp areas in West Virginia, Ohio, and<\/p>\n

probably most states in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

The flavor is rather mild when you consider the reputation- and ,  in<\/p>\n

my opinion, they aren\u2019t any worse on the breath than any other<\/p>\n

onion.  <\/p>\n

Luke, Jordan and I bought some at Mustard Seed Market for <\/p>\n

$5.99 a pound, so they certainly aren\u2019t cheap.  (Although a lady<\/p>\n

walking by as we picked ours out said we could go to Furnace Run, <\/p>\n

in Richfield and pick them for free- except it is against the law to<\/p>\n

pick things in the MetroParks.  So I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be doing that.)<\/p>\n

You could probably plant some and let then multiply in a quiet corner<\/p>\n

of your garden- but they DO multiply- and then you pull up every<\/p>\n

second plant.<\/p>\n

\"010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut off the root section, like you would a scallion, and any part of the<\/p>\n

green that is discolored or damaged,<\/p>\n

\"012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

layer them with some fresh asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, lemon<\/p>\n

juice,sea salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

The result is slightly crunchy and sour and salty.<\/p>\n
