This week on the podcast, we're cooking with fiddleheads. These are the furled fronds of a young fern plant, harvested for use as a vegetable. You may have seen them in the spring growing in the wild or packaged in your grocery store. We'd never tried them so this whole episode is an experiment and we learned quite a lot about fiddleheads.
First of all, whether you forage or buy your fiddleheads, they're not safe to eat raw. You'll need to wash and then boil or blanche the fiddleheads to remove toxins. Then they're safe to eat and are wonderful in salads or simply sautéed. We decided the flavour is something like a mild asparagus, but with better texture (nothing stringy here!).
Heather took it a step further with inspiration from a favourite cook book (Bisous & Brioche by Rebecca Wellman and Laura Bradbury) to make a fiddlehead and leek cheese tart. It's a par baked pie crust (puff pastry would also be fantastic, and easy), with sautéed leaks and fiddleheads. Egg holds it together and then a pile of shredded emmental and Gruyère cheese finishes it off. The fiddleheads hold their shape, look beautiful and just taste so fresh on this tart.
After recording, Erin made a fiddlehead quiche that got rave reviews from her family. Fiddleheads would also be fantastic on flatbread or baked into focaccia. If they're new to you, give them a try next time they're in season where you live!
