Fiddleheads!

Hi Grade 2,


When I was shopping on the weekend I found a New Brunswick spring delicacy - fiddleheads! 



I looked up fiddleheads and found some background information on Wikipedia. Check out some of the recipes I found for Fiddleheads on the Tourism New Brunswick website. 


We are going to cook and eat the fiddlehards this morning to experience this New Brunswick delicacy! 


Here is how to safely cook fiddleheads:


Cleaning fresh fiddleheads

  • Remove as much of the brown papery husk as possible, using your fingers.
  • Wash the fiddleheads in several changes of fresh cold water to remove any residual husk or dirt.

Cooking fiddleheads

Before eating fiddleheads, make sure to follow these steps:
  • Cook them in a generous amount of boiling water for 15 minutes or steam them for 10 to 12 minutes. Discard water used for boiling or steaming fiddleheads.
  • Follow these instructions before sautéing, frying, baking or making other foods(e.g. soups, casseroles) using fiddleheads.

Our Class Recipe

     1. Clean the fiddleheads well in cold water. 

     2. Boil the fiddleheads for 12-15 minutes. 

     3. Saute the fiddledheads in a frying pan with butter and garlic. 

     4. Enjoy!


What did you think of the fiddleheads? How was the:

- smell?

- flavour?

- texture?

- visual appeal?


Please leave me your tasting notes! 

Cheers,
Mrs. F.
