After a recent visit to one of my produce vendors, I was excited to see that they had black garlic and ramps. Of course they did. They are one of the top produce vendors that service many of the restaurants in the City. My first thought was to make a ramp and black garlic pesto. Different. Very. But, you would have to be a true garlic lover for this one, since the ramps have a robust garlic flavor all by themselves. Add the sweet and syrupy molasses flavor of black garlic and quite a combination is the result. I used toasted pine nuts as the traditional pesto nut for this one. And as with any pesto, this is perfect with pasta.
