Simply Delicious Fiddlehead Ferns
Fiddlehead ferns can be prepared in many different ways, including soups, soufflés, and casseroles. But many people prefer them when they're cooked very simply. This is one of those "simple" recipes. The lemon adds a wonderful zing to the
fiddleheads, and the butter adds the perfect finishing touch.

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh Fiddlehead Ferns, tightly closed
2 quarts boiling water
1 teaspoon Sea salt
ice water
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh Cracked Pepper
Preparation:
Clean and trim the fiddleheads, snipping off the tough
stems. Wash in cold water. Boil two quarts of salted water
and add the fiddleheads. Return to a boil and cook for only
about two or three minutes, timing it carefully. Drain the
boiling water and dunk the ferns immediately in ice water.
Drain the fiddleheads and pat them dry.
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the
butter. As it begins to bubble, add the blanched
fiddleheads. Sauté for about two minutes, then add the
lemon juice and stir thoroughly. Season with salt and
pepper and serve piping hot.
