Fiddleheads

If you see these in the market:

Photobucket

buy some!  These are fiddleheads, which are actually the shoots of the ostrich fern.  They are a short-lived delicacy.

Steam them lightly, add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and serve with a bold nut-based sauce.

Early Spring is fiddlehead season!  These are foraged, not commercially grown usually.
