Rhubarb Compote



Sprrring! Warm weather! (Yes, those exclamation marks were necessary.)



Spring also means the arrival of new vegetables at the farmers' market, which is very, very exciting. (To me, anyway.)





The first sign of leafy greens were ramps (aka wild leeks), which I snatched up and turned into a pesto. Ramps are an intense combination of onions and garlic and as someone who loves both, raw ramp pesto was even a little too intense for my liking. Will attempt to roast or saute them next time.
