4 cups fiddleheads, cleaned
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, minced
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups milk or 2 cups cream
1/2 teaspoon lemon, zest of
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

  • Cover and cook until the fiddleheads are thoroughly tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the milk, reduce the heat to medium, and heat until nearly boiling.
