Fiddlehead Ferns and Garlic – Simple and Delicious!!

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fiddlehead ferns, trimmed and cleaned
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper blend

Directions

Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fiddlehead ferns, boil for 10 minutes, and drain.

In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until it is aromatic but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the fiddleheads and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cover the pan with a lid or with aluminum foil to allow the fiddleheads to steam slightly, for 5 minutes. Top with the parsley. Season with salt and pepper blend, to taste.

Pecorino romano, to taste

Directions

Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fiddlehead ferns, boil for 10 minutes, and drain.

Heat the oil in a small sauté pan over low heat. Add the pine nuts and garlic and cook until the pine nuts are golden. Add the red chile pepper flakes and fiddlehead ferns, and sauté for 1 – 2 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl, toss with the lemon zest, and shave strips of pecorino over the top using a vegetable peeler. Drizzle with more olive oil, to taste.

Not sure what to make with your Fiddleheads?

Brown Sugar Miso Fiddleheads

Recipe from Food52.com

Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound fiddleheads
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
Directions

1. Wash and pat dry your fiddleheads. Once dried, cut the brown ends off and immediately place in a pot of water to prevent re-browning. 

2. Bring your fiddleheads to a boil and gently boil for 10-12 minutes, then immediately remove them from the hot water and submerge in cold water to stop further cooking. 

3. Mix together brown sugar, white miso, rice vinegar, ginger, and water until smooth, and set aside.

4. In a pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat, then add the fiddleheads. Sauté 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and miso mixture to the pan and cook for an another 2 minutes until the sauce becomes bubbly and thick. 

5. Garnish with black sesame seeds and serve immediately

Fiddlehead Fritattas

Not sure how to cook your fiddleheads? Try this Fiddlehead Fritattas recipe from Food52.com

You will need:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup fiddleheads
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (morels would be ideal)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 ounces ricotta or cream cheese
  • 2 sprigs chopped parsley (optional)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

1. Clean the fiddleheads, making sure to remove brown fuzz. Then cook in boiled water for about 10 minutes. Rinse and trim ends.

2. Sauté minced garlic and sliced mushrooms in olive oil until tender. An oiled cast iron pan is recommended.

3. Add cooked fiddleheads, salt and pepper, cook a few more minutes until everything is tender.

4. Lower heat, if you are using chopped parsley add it now.

5. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add cheese -- okay to leave dollops.

6. Add the egg mixture to the vegetables, stir a little to evenly distribute it. Cook over low-med heat until eggs begin to set, around 10 minutes.

7. Finish cooking under broiler, for about 3 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
