A delightful and easy way to prepare fiddlehead ferns with a zesty lemon and garlic flavor.
Rinse the fiddlehead ferns thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
Ensure all brown husks are removed for a clean presentation.
Steam the fiddleheads for about 10 minutes until they are tender but still firm.
Steaming helps retain the vibrant green color and nutrients.
Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from browning.
Add the steamed fiddleheads to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Toss gently to coat the fiddleheads evenly with the garlic butter.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the fiddleheads and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference for a balanced flavor.
Serve the fiddleheads warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Garnish with a lemon wedge for an elegant touch.
