Quick Fiddleheads

Quick Fiddleheads - Fiddleheads (or emerging Ostrich ferns in springtime) are delicious, abundant and easy to harvest. A quick method is using a microwave to cook them. After thoroughly washing the ferns, thereby removing all the dried brown husk material, place a serving in a microwave-safe tupperware container, spray with butter flavored PAM, place the lid on but not tight, and microwave on high for 5-10 minutes or until the ferns are tender. Tastes like the best and most tender asparagus you ever had. If you want to add a little zip, sprinkle Balsamic vinegar over them before eating.
