Ingredients

  • 1 pound fiddleheads
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the fiddleheads thoroughly, and remove any brown "gills" that are wrapped around them. Blanch the fiddleheads in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Then place them in an ice water bath to keep their color. Drain.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat the oil and saute garlic and crushed red pepper for about a minute. Add fiddleheads, with whatever water is still clinging to them. Toss fiddleheads to coat with the oil mixture. Saute for about 5-7 minutes, until the fiddleheads are cooked through but not soft. Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
