Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 sprigs fresh rosemary plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped, for the seasoning salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs and lemon half to the water and season well with salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain well and immediately cut the potatoes into halves. Place on a plate to allow the steam to escape. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, to make the seasoning salt, mix together the lemon zest, chopped rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers when it swirls in the skillet. Add the potatoes cut-side down to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet. This may be done in 2 batches. Cook until the bottom of the potatoes are a deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, flip the potatoes and cook on the second side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain well. Sprinkle with the seasoning salt and serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds ramps, cleaned, trimmed, white and green parts separated
1 cup very hot water
1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon schichimi togarashi (Japanese 7-spice powder; optional)
1 teaspoon kochukaru (optional)
1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns (optional)
2 pounds fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise (quartered if large)
3 to 4 cloves garlic, crushed
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon salted butter
3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned
1 to 2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 to 4 slices lemon (optional)
1 tablespoon salted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon Puree, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the ramps: Separate white and green parts of ramps, reserving green parts for potatoes. Place white parts of ramps in container and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, mix together hot water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and schichimi togarashi, kochukaru, and white peppercorns, if using; bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Pour cooled mixture over ramps and cover; transfer to refrigerator for at least 3 days and up to 1 month. Drain before using.
  • Make the potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place potatoes, garlic, and thyme in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover; generously season with salt. Place over medium-high heat and simmer just until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and spread out on a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • Cut cooled potatoes lengthwise on the bias. Heat grapeseed oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and place potatoes cut-side down in skillet. Transfer to oven and cook until a nice brown crust appears, about 20 minutes. Return to stove over medium-high heat and add butter; cook basting with oil and butter mixture. Add reserved greens from ramps to skillet and season with salt; toss to combine and remove from heat.
  • Make the crabs: Meanwhile, heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season crabs with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until red and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn crabs and add garlic, thyme, lemon slices, if using, and butter. Cook, basting with butter, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon lemon puree on each of 4 plates. Top with potatoes and crab; garnish with pickled ramps and serve immediately.
