How many/weight of ramps to use making wild ramp pesto? I didn't buy my ramps in a "bunch" as the recipe calls for.

Sheila, you deserved an answer to your question. I was just given what I will take to be a bunch of wild ramps and with the roots still on it weighs 5 oz. and without the roots 2.7 oz.

Use your imagination. A 'bunch' is not a standard size.

I rarely use a recipe when making pesto. Just grind up a bunch of wild ramps with a clove or two of garlic, and handful of nuts, some salt, I like a tiny bit of lemon to preserve color, and drizzle in olive oil until you like the texture. Then I fold in freshly grated parm.
