When the parsnips are cooking, do they give off a lot of water, like zucchini???

This was sooo delicious!! I just used green onions instead of ramps and also substituted prosciutto for ham. I also added some mushrooms & garlic. My husband said this was his favorite spiralized recipe so far. Thank you very much for all of your wonderful recipes. We love them!!

Not sure what you saw, I’d just ask your farmer! Here’s a picture a ramp: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ramps.jpg

WOW, this looks great! Can’t wait to try it! I read the ramp description above, but not sure about them…I was at the farmer’s mkt yesterday and have seen something that looks akin to a giant green onion…are those ramps?

I’d love to see the veggies before they are cooked – raw and then being spiralized. I think it would give a better start-to-finish picture to those new to spiralizing.
Thanks!

In reply to Barb. Ramps are a wild scallion-like onion (some people plant them also) that are extremely potent in flavors of garlic & strong onion. Around here where i live (WV) they actually have ramp festivals & because people are eating them all day long for 2 days in different ways they will smell like ramps for the next week - it comes out their pores. Eew. But that is only if eaten in excessive quantities. Having some raw or in a recipe adds wondrous flavor & wont make your pores stink.. I promise. If you search where they grow you may be able to simply go somewhere near your home & pick some wild ramps.. Unless it's a large city of course. They are all over around here.

In reply to Beth B. Just use onions and garlic, but you can find ramps at the farmer's market, as they are a seasonal spring veg!

I don’t recall seeing ramps in my grocery store. What would be a good substitute if I can’t find them – scallions?

What are ramps, please?
