Summer appetizing (and entertaining) made easy - make the most of the short-lived ramp season by making these ramp pesto pinwheels today!
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch ramps
  • ½ cup other mild greens (spinach, for example)
  • ⅓ cup grated pecorino cheese
  • ⅓ cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • olive oil
  • salt, pepper
Instructions
  1. Saute the ramps (keep them whole - stem and all!) lightly in olive oil.
  2. Chop them in half and combine with greens, cheese, pistachios, and a few tablespoons of olive oil in a mini chopper or food processor. Pulse until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine egg and pesto and stir together until smooth.
  3. Preheat oven to 400F. Roll out puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper. Spread pesto over the pastry evenly, leaving a half inch border all around. Roll pastry gently, like a jelly roll, then slice into even pieces, about a finger width each.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden.
