Browned Butter Ramp Compound Butter with Lemon Zest.

Browned Butter Ramp Compound Butter with Lemon Zest

Browned butter, wild ramps, bright lemon zest and flaky sea salt rolled into a compound butter that tastes like the best of spring foraging season in every slice. The browning process coaxes a deep, nutty richness from the butter that pairs beautifully with the wild garlic warmth of fresh ramps - and the lemon zest lifts the whole thing into something completely irresistible. Melt it over grilled steak, toss it through pasta with shrimp, spread it on crusty bread straight from the oven or keep a log in the freezer for whenever the taste of spring is needed.
