Ingredients:
Fiddleheads
2 - Tbsp Butter
2 - Cloves Garlic
1 - Tbsp Lemon Juice
Directions:
Take a look at the fiddleheads any remove and brown pieces or dirt
Rinse them off (if they are really dirty you will need to soak them in a couple changes of water but these ones were really clean)
Melt butter in frying pan and then add the fiddleheads
Saute for 2 - 3 minutes then add garlic and lemon juice
Saute for another couple of minutes. This is the part where I went wrong. I had thought that they would have softened up a lot quicker but then didn't so I ended up leaving them on longer. I then tried covering them to try and steam them a little bit. The end result was that they turned very bitter tasting. When I was at about the 5 - 7 minute mark they tasted a little firm but really good and not bitter at all but leaving them on longer just doesn't work. Make sure you make these right before you main course is almost ready.
Sprinkle with a little salt and then serve
As you can see, they look really good but don't over cook them or they are just bitter. After the failure I did some more searching and a lot of the recipes say that you should boil the fiddleheads for 10 - 12 minutes before Sauteing them so I guess I screwed up that part too. oh well...
