Salad with Fiddlehead Ferns
This is a very unusual recipe with a complicated and very interesting combination of flavors, which you probably haven't tried before. Once you get the ingredients, the rest is just too simple. Grind the dried shrimp to a powder in a food processor. You can make a paste of the ginger in the same way - just toss it in a food processor and a few seconds later, you're ready to go.
Ingredients:
2 cups grated coconut, toasted lightly in a dry skillet
5 Fresh Ramps, sliced thin
2 hot chilies, seeded and sliced thin diagonally
2 tablespoons dried shrimp, powdered
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ pound bean sprouts
½ pound Fresh
Fiddleheads, cleaned, trimmed, parboiled and sliced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, ground to a paste
1 teaspoon Sea salt
Preparation:
Combine the coconut, ramps, chilies, shrimp powder, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add the other ingredients, toss them, and serve at room temperature.
