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

  • 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.

These were amazing. We added garlic and dropped the vinegar. It went great with chicken and sour cream and chives mashed potatoes. Read More

Turned it really good! Made some minor modifications: added 1/4 cup more broth (used chicken as I didn't have beef) since the sauce reduced by a lot; Omitted chocolate as I didn't have any threw in some basil and thyme and used red instead of white wine! This tasted fantastic!! Will make this again!! Read More
