I really liked this! Here in Florida our season is over, but, you are going to save me so many fiddle heads in the future! I thought the ice bath discolored ones were bad. I'm so trying this next season. Thanks 👏👏👏

Thanks Chef. If this method works for you please leave a rating on the post linked in the video description. Some people have been dinging it, and I think they're just skeptical of the process or think they're undercooked. Once you make them like this, you won't go back though.

Do you have a video on water bath canning pickled fiddleheads?
@foragerchef41412 жыл бұрын
Kind of. You can't water bath can them though-it'll make them mushy. I hot pack them. The FDA would disppaprove, but it works. One guy harvests them commercially and used it to pickle up to 50 lbs at a time. foragerchef.com/pickled-fiddlehead-ferns/

I just bought some at the Cambridge Whole Foods for 5.99. I was looking for locally grown things and felt I should try these. The apple cider is really good. Organic Bananas are 79 cents a pound and they are better than target's.

When did you go from blanching to cooking? all your extra chatter kind of blended everything together...

So after I blanch them, can I add them to a stir-fry after I cook the other veggies?
@foragerchef41412 ай бұрын
Yes! That’s exactly what you do. Some are a little bitter after blanching, some aren’t. Either way once they’re seasoned they’ll be great.

i wish i could go out and do this, but the first thing I'd pick up would probably be a deadly look alike. I'll just watch you do it.
@foragerchef41412 жыл бұрын
You can do it! Next year. There are no deadly look a likes for fiddleheads. These are very easy in the scheme of things.

Is the water the f/h were cooked in safe? Could it be reused as soup stock? Or does it contain toxin?

Swallow - this, I assume, is a term for a category of starchy foods used to alternate with soups?

Too many recipes call for 8-10 minutes of boil. 2 minutes makes more sense. And fiddleheads, ramps and morels are an amazing combo.
@foragerchef41413 ай бұрын
Agree 100%. I can’t stand mushy fiddles. If the water’s at a rolling boil you can get away with a little less time if the fiddles are small. Big thick ones need the 2 min to not discolor after cooling though.

I blanched for 5 minutes then sautéed with garlic, seasoning butter and olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. They were good! Firm but tender. I sautéed them right after blanching.

You have to boil them 15 minutes or steam.10-12 minutes. Otherwise you risk getting sick

@@wendykalecki5498 This is not true at all if you’re using ostrich ferns. It’s comments like these that spread misinformation about this plant. Boiled for 15 minutes you’ll have a pile of mush to put on your compost. If you cook ostrich fiddleheads and get sick, you likely did not identify them correctly-that is exactly why there’s so much confusion. People misidentify the plant, get sick, then blame the real plant for their mistake. Tale as old as time.
