Ramp and Champagne Mussels

farmers market finds

This dish is giving Wishbone Kitchen Swamp Soup Vibes (iykyk).

If you’ve read my previous posts, I’ve been on the hunt for ramps.

Ramps are a hyper seasonal allium that are in the scallion and leak family. They have a light garlic/onion taste. (If i were an allium I would be a Ramp). So when I found them at Whole Foods, I was stunned. You can use ramps in Pesto, chimichuri, pasta, butter (The list goes on).

Where To Find Ramps

• Farmers Markets

• Forage Them Yourself- Commonly found in wooded areas(woodlands and hardwood forests), streams and by maple trees

• Whole Foods (not sure if they supply them nationwide)

If you happen to forage them, make sure to mainly take the leaves and stems leaving the roots behind so they can grow again!

So I wanted to transform a basic mussel broth into a flavor bomb. So here we have a champagne, ramp and meyer lemon Mussels Dish paired with a classic Limoncello Spritz.

Limoncello Spritz Recipe

• 4 oz. Prosecco

• 1.5 oz. Limoncello

• Squeeze of Meyer Lemon Juice

• Top With Soda water

• Garnish with a Meyer Lemon Wheel
