Ramps (Wild Leeks) Pie image

The flavor of ramps is similar to onions, particularly like scallions, but wilder. They can be used just like scallions. In Appalachia, they are so popular that festivals are dedicated to them. They've been a staple of Southern Appalachian cooking for generations. Feel free to sub regular leeks or scallions if ramps are unavailable.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie crust turned out really tough. I think I might have used too much flour.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices next time.
