A friend gifted me this:

It's about a pound+ of ramps, sustainably harvested.  So I got a little busy:

Couple of cups of ramp pesto, and some rather "rustic" ramp butter.  Like, it could have been finer had I used the food processor, but I chopped the ramps and mushed them with the butter by hand.

 

AS I do when I make pesto with basil, this has no cheese added at this point.  I learned from an old Italian cook not to add the cheese if it's not going to be used right away, as the cheese doesn't get any better sitting in the pesto.  And for this ramp pesto, pistachios.
