I think this may have been the first time I’ve been able to combine 2 wild favorites of ours, skate wings from local waters and New York (Delaware County)\u00a0ramps, in a single dish.<\/p>\n

Splendid.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the polenta flour coating on the skates was also local (Clinton Corners).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I already had the ramps (they can be kept for a surprising number of days if carefully packaged in an unsealed plastic bag in the refrigerator\u00a0with the bulbs wrapped in a damp paper towel).<\/p>\n

While still in the Greenmarket on Monday, I decided rainbow chard would make a good compliment to the skate with the ramps, for its trace of\u00a0sweetness, and slight bitterness, and for the color it would add to the plate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The red amaranth with the skate? I took a chance by adding a few sprigs, risking overkill, but it worked out fine.<\/p>\n

And that color!<\/p>\n
