Eating Ferns....

In Maine, we go crazy for fiddle heads in the spring. These tightly coiled baby ferns are a special, edible type, harvested from damp, wooded areas. They are delicious. I saute mine in olive oil and garlic, then steam them until tender. They are a bit like eating fresh asparagus. Rachel and I delight in them, Chris finds them "icky."
