• Ramp-sesame pancakes with miso dipping sauce

I was at the market with my hand on a bunch of scallions when I spied the ramps out of the corner of my eye. I make green onion pancakes all the time. But ramp pancakes? The chance only comes for a short window each year, and I was on the case. <br /> <br />This recipe is based on the idea for a traditional Chinese scallion pancake but made with ramps and served with a thick, savory dipping sauce. This recipe is a great opportunity to use the jar of bacon fat you have in your refrigerator; peanut oil is also a great flavor booster, but canola oil will work just fine. If you'd like a lighter, more traditional dip, try soy sauce with a small amount of rice vinegar and a dash of sesame oil. The miso dip is also great on all kinds of vegetables and makes a great salad dressing. <br /> <br />And when ramps aren't in season, I go ahead and make this recipe with fragrant green onions sliced super-thin.
