Ingredients

  • 1 pound fiddleheads

  • 1 ½ teaspoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Rinse fiddleheads thoroughly; trim stems. Soak in cold salted water for 5 minutes; rinse again.

  2. Place fiddleheads in a large skillet; pour in enough water to cover and bring fiddleheads to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes; drain.

  3. Melt butter in same skillet over medium low heat; stir in fiddleheads and toss to coat. Cook fiddleheads until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir vinegar into fiddleheads; season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

I prefer balsamic or wine vinegar, but traditionally white vinegar is used.
