One of my favorite spring treats is Fiddlehead Ferns. They are often hard to find and expensive, so they are definitely a treat.
They don't keep well so they have to be eaten almost immediately after you get them. You have to rinse them well. It is often recommended that they are boiled for 15 minutes to avoid food poisoning. However I have never cooked them quite like that and have never gotten sick from eating them.
Here's what I do:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan,
cut up garlic and add it to the oil
add fiddleheads and let them sauté for a few minutes
then add some water to the frying pan, continue to cook uncovered so the ferns soften
when they're done cooking add salt to taste
and enjoy!
