Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh fiddleheads (you can also use frozen previously blanched fiddleheads)
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup feta cheese * I use light/low-fat
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese * I use light/low-fat
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoon fresh dill *substitute 1 ½ tablespoon dry dill
Instructions
Cook the fiddleheads
- Rinse the fiddleheads, remove any papery brown skin from the tops, and then slice off as much of the brown parts on their ends as you can. Fill a large bowl with cold water and put the fiddleheads in there for a few minutes, swishing them around with your hands to remove any dirt. * I rub the coils to loosen any dirt as well. Discard the water and repeat this process
- Add fiddleheads to a pot of cold water.
- Bring to a boil and boil for at least 10 minutes, but not longer than 15 minutes.
- Drain and pat dry. * They will be a little darker green in color. They are now ready to sauté.
Sauté the Fiddleheads
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in frying pan on stovetop, add garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add cooked fiddleheads, parmesan cheese, feta cheese and dill and sauté for an additional 7-8 minutes approximately.
- Serve hot.
