SAUTEED FIDDLEHEADS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fiddlehead ferns in the boiling water until barely tender, 7 to 10 minutes; drain.

SAUTEED FIDDLEHEAD FERNS

Steps:

• Remove the dry, sheathlike papery particles from the fiddleheads. Fill a medium bowl with cool water; add 1 teaspoon salt and the lemon juice. Add ferns, and push them down into the water several times to clean them. Transfer to paper towel to drain.
• On a steamer rack set over an inch of water in a saucepan, steam fiddleheads, covered, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add fiddleheads, and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

SAUTéED FIDDLEHEAD FERNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
• Trim fiddlehead ferns, removing any brown ends or mushy parts. Rinse in cool water. Do this just before cooking-the added moisture will make these delicate fronds spoil if done too far in advance.
• Transfer the fiddleheads to the water and boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain and rinse with cold water until cool, or shock in a bowl of ice water to cool, then drain.
• Arrange in a single layer on clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Pat dry.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it melts. Add the fiddleheads. Cook, stirring frequently, until they start to brown on the edges, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Salt to taste and serve.

SAUTéED FIDDLEHEAD FERNS

Steps:

• Just before cooking, trim off the stems and discard any browning pieces, before rinsing in cold water. If still intact, remove the brown papery coating with your fingers.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and then carefully add the fiddleheads. Allow them to cook for one minute then remove from heat and drain out the water.
• Add the fiddles to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then lay on a dry tea towel or paper towels. Pat dry.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sauté the fiddlehead ferns, stirring or shaking the pan, until nicely browned all over. This will take about 5 minutes.
• Toss in the whole garlic clove and stir for around a minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper then transfer to a serving dish.
