Ingredients

3 cups fresh fiddlehead ferns, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons unfiltered extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients for the sautéed fiddleheads.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fiddlehead ferns in the boiling water until they are just barely tender, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Drain the fiddleheads thoroughly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prepared fiddlehead ferns, garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook and stir until the ferns are lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
