This simple sauté highlights the fresh green flavor of the fiddlehead ferns and includes a savory taste of lightly browned garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh fiddlehead ferns
  • 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
  • Celtic sea salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Trim the dark ends off the fiddleheads, some of them may not need this.
  2. Place your fiddleheads in a colander and rinse or spray them with cold water. Then place them in a bowl of water and rub to remove all of their papery-like coverings. Drain and rinse.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fiddleheads in the boiling water until barely tender, 3-5 minutes; drain and pat dry on a kitchen towel.
  4. Heat butter or ghee and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the prepared fiddlehead ferns. Cook and stir until ferns are tinged lightly brown and around the edges, about 3 minutes.
  6. Add garlic, salt and pepper. Cook stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant and just lightly brown.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve warm.
