SAUTEED FIDDLEHEAD FERNS
Fiddleheads lend themselves to many of the same preparations as asparagus. Here they are served warm, but they also make good hors d'oeuvres served in a vinaigrette.

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.

SAUTE THOSE FIDDLEHEAD FERNS
Fiddlehead Fern is picked in the spring when they just pop out of the ground and are still curled looking like the head of a violin. They grow in the northeastern part of the USA and in eastern Canada. Being in Nevada I never expected to see these luscious delicacies again but you can see I was wrong. Trader Joe's had them and I grabbed a package very quickly. The recipe is one I just put together with what I had available. Didn't want to take the time to go to the store for anything else. You can buy sundried tomatoes packed in oil... yum.
