Fiddlehead Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Fiddleheads

Rinse the fiddlehead ferns thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the stems.

2

Blanch the Fiddleheads

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fiddleheads and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

Sauté the Garlic

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

4

Cook the Fiddleheads

Add the blanched fiddleheads to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.

5

Finish with Lemon Juice and Parmesan

Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Serve warm.
