Instructions
Heat the olive oil, ramps, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt, in a small pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ramps are lightly bubbling and turning softer. This takes about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the black pepper. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
Combine the sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in 2/3 of the ramp mixture.
Spoon into a bowl for serving, and top with the remaining ramp mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, ideally, for flavors to marinate.
