FIDDLEHEAD FERNS
Steps:
- Before you're ready to cook cut about 1/8-inch off the thick ends if they look brown and rinse the fern shoots thoroughly to get rid of the brown fuzzy chaff that clings to their sides. Dry the shoots thoroughly before cooking by first spinning them in a lettuce spinner and then patting them with paper towels. Melt butter in a pan at medium heat. Add garlic, parsley and fiddleheads to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute for 5 minutes or until they are done.
FIDDLEHEAD FERN QUICHE
Similar to an asparagus quiche, with fresh fiddlehead fern heads. Buy these fresh in the spring at farmer's markets, or look for them frozen in specialty food stores. BEWARE: Do NOT pick your own unless you are sure of what you are picking. There are ferns that resemble the fiddlehead (ostrich) that are actually bad for you.

SAUTEED FIDDLEHEADS
I recently have discovered fiddlehead ferns. I could not find a recipe for them so, I made one up. These are so yummy that I can eat the whole dish in sitting! Great served with fish.
