Ramp Leaf Oil
Ingredients
6 oz about 3 cups green wild onion or ramp tops, chopped
Combine all ingredients in a blender (preferably a vitamix) and puree on high for 60 seconds.
Immediately pour the oil into a metal bowl sitting in another metal bowl filled with ice or cold water to chill it. Stir to reduce the heat, then cover and allow to chill overnight.
The next day, strain the oil through cheesecloth, allowing it to drain naturally, and resisting the urge to press or squeeze out any oil, as water particles will pass through and give you a cloudy oil.
Sometimes I allow it to drain overnight in the fridge if I have space, as you would yogurt or cheese. Store the finished oil in the fridge for up to a month.

Kristin on 2025-03-25 (5 stars): This was delish! I will be making some to freeze this spring for sure. Just have to remember it's there in the freezer amongst all the other goodies. ;)
heather on 2023-05-17 (5 stars): Hi Alan,
Would this be freezable to preserve for a longer amount of time?
Kate on 2021-05-19 (5 stars): Would this work using olive oil? I'd prefer that as a drizzle on soups or (what I'm really thinking) pizza.
