Fiddleheads...

What is a fiddle head some of you may ask?  Well let me tell you.  A fiddle head is basically a baby fern that's all curled up before it unrolls.  These are actually considered a veggie.  These curly little guys are full of iron, fiber, omegas 3 and 6.  My dad used to make them when I was a kid and when I saw them in the market I did cringe at the price but bought them anyway.   I tried to think of a taste to compare them to and I came up with a mix between broccoli and asparagus?  


Fiddle heads with soy and garlic:

1 package fiddle heads
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
2-3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Rinse the fiddle heads and trim off ends (if you want)
Put olive oil and minced garlic in frying pan and turn to medium.
Cook for 3 - 4 mins and add the fiddle heads and soy sauce. 
Cook for another 3-4 mins and add water and bring to a boil.  Cook for about 8 mins or until cooked through.
