Spring fiddlehead ferns GB

[Guest guest]

I have seen recipes using these and I can find a wide variey of product but I

have never seen them. I will search for a picture.

I'll file this in the greens folder.

Thank you for posting such an interesting recipe. OK I'm on a fiddlehead

mission now. I always thought a fiddlehead was a fish and most people I

question think an albatross bird is a fish.

Every spring we go look for fiddleheads, usually found near streams here and

among devil's club. They usually come up during the last 2 weeks in May here in

Southcentral Alaska but come up earlier in other parts of the world.

 

Spring fiddlehead ferns

 

2 pounds fiddleheads

1/2 cup ghee or olive oil or more depending on need

3 onions, chopped

12 cloves of garlic

2 Tbsp. brown mustard seeds

4 Tbsp. prepared yellow mustard

Salt to taste

basil pesto

 

Clean fiddleheads. Toast mustard seeds in ghee or olive oil until they pop.

Saute onions and fiddleheads together. They start out as a dark green color.

When they turn a more pale color, they are done. When almost done add mustard

and garlic. Serve over a bed of white Basmati rice with basil pesto on top.

Here in the Northwest we used to gather them, by hand, in the forests. They

are so rare these days, we are prohibted from doing that now. I buy them

fozen in the freezer case. Trust me, it's quicker, cleaner, faster and much

easier.

How fortunate you are. We basically have to purchase them frozen nowadays.

Joanie,

 

I guess it depends on where you live. I can go out our door and walk to a

nearby creek about 300 yards away and pick over a half paper grocery bag full of

fiddles. With more developement, it would be harder. They are one of the

tastiest veggies there are in my opinion.
