This simple dish is the perfect way to consume fiddleheads, a healthy green vegetable, during the spring.
Prepare the fiddleheads by washing them, peeling off any brown papery skin (most won't have that but some might), and slicing off any brown ends. Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the fiddleheads, swishing them around with your hands to remove any dirt. Discard the water and repeat this process another time.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the fiddleheads and cook them for 10-15 minutes. Drain and rinse them in a colander.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and the fiddleheads, and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the other tbsp of butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook for another few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
