Fiddleheads lend themselves to many of the same preparations as asparagus. Here they are served warm, but they also make good hors d'oeuvres served in a vinaigrette.

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 freshly picked fiddlehead ferns
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Remove the dry, sheathlike papery particles from the fiddleheads. Fill a medium bowl with cool water; add 1 teaspoon salt and the lemon juice. Add ferns, and push them down into the water several times to clean them. Transfer to paper towel to drain.
  • On a steamer rack set over an inch of water in a saucepan, steam fiddleheads, covered, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Brook Trout and Fiddleheads image

I woke up this morning dreaming about trout and fiddleheads. I swear I could smell the brookies cooking. Fact: It's January, 20 below and snowing. Dream: May...Fish along an icy brook for a few 8 inch trout and then fill a creel with fiddleheads. Head home... cold, wet and hungry to cook up this "rite of spring" meal. Four more months.

  • Crumble bacon and set aside.
  • Remove bacon grease from pan and save.
  • Clean cast iron pan thoroughly.
  • Set aside.
  • Place flour in a bag.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh trout: Look for trout with bright, clear eyes, red gills, and firm flesh.
  • Clean the trout thoroughly: Remove the guts, gills, and fins. Rinse the trout inside and out with cold water.
  • Season the trout simply: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to enhance the trout's natural flavor.
  • Cook the trout gently: Trout is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently to prevent it from drying out. Pan-frying, baking, or grilling are all good methods for cooking trout.
  • Serve the trout immediately: Trout is best served hot out of the pan or oven. Enjoy it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
