Ramp pesto pinwheels

Summer appetizing made easy – make the most of the short-lived ramp season by making these ramp pesto pinwheels today!

It has all the green things: ramps, spinach (or other mild greens), and pistachios.

What are ramps? Ramps are a wild onion or shoot (depends on who you ask) with a pronounced, unique garlicky flavor. They are only around for a few months in the spring and are, generally, foraged.

The extra good news is that this ramp pesto is also great with so many other things: spaghetti, seafood, cheese and flatbreads etc.

Tip: double the recipe! You’ll want more of these, if you’re sharing 🙂

Ramp pesto pinwheels
Author: Saffron & Honey
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  35 mins
Total time:  50 mins
 
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.

    Oh Ksenia, this must be so delicious, I could eat the whole batch myself for sure. Wild “ail des ours” is no longer in season here but I have a jar of leaves I fermented last year… wondering whether that might work for some lovely pinwheels.
