Polenta with Grilled Ramps and Morel Mushrooms, Fritto Misto, Grape and Tarragon Salad, Tiramisu Cupcakes

Dinner 4/27

Polenta with Grilled Ramps and Morel Mushrooms

Fritto Misto
(asparagus and morel mushrooms)

Grape and Tarragon Salad

Dessert

Tiramisu Cupcakes
(from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World")

Yay! The ramps have made it to our co-op. They were on the plate in less than two hours after coming out of the ground (we're saving our batch of ramps for next week). We grilled them simply with a little olive oil, pepper and tamari. The last of the morels and asparagus were use in the fritto misto, and the last few morels were sauteed to go along with the polenta and ramps.

Ironically, we didn't test the Tiramisu cupcakes for the "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World" -- not quite sure how that happened. We tested so many that it must have slipped through the cracks. Anyway, they turned out as decadent as they sound (as do all the recipes from the book).
