NOTES:
*Fiddleheads on their own are so unique, with a flavor that lands somewhere between asparagus and green beans. They typically start appearing in grocery stores late April and run through until end of June. When buying fiddleheads, look for fresh, bright green, tightly coiled plants. Because the plants are wild, it’s important to make sure they’re thoroughly cooked before serving. Boiling the fiddle heads prior to cooking is the best way to avoid any possibility of food - borne illness.
