I’ve been picking and eating wild vegetables since a very young age and I’ve always been a big fan of the lovely spirally curls of young ferns – but it never occurred to me that they could be edible! For some reason Finnish wild vegetable sources never seem to mention them, even though ferns are ubiquitous here. Weird. It’s too bad the season is probably far past over for this year. :-/

Fiddleheads at wegmans were about $11 a pound. But they are very light, so I spent about $2 on fiddleheads for this recipe.

Great looking dish. I love wild foods. I went foraging for morels twice this season for the first time in my life. The first time was a great success, second time – nothing. I’ve never gone hunting fiddleheads though, never eaten them either. I’m curious how much they cost at Wegman’s? Are they as outlandishly priced as morels?

You probably do! You’ll want to make sure they are edible fiddleheads and not any other kind of unedible fern. There used to be a lady in Kodi who brought foraged mushrooms to our house. I bet someone like that would be the best person to identify fiddleheads

Looks magical – would love to forage for some…wonder if we have any fiddlehead ferns in our forests up here in Kodai. Love the ingredients you use.
