Truly Canadian. When foreign heads of state visit this is served if they are available. They are usually the first crop in Spring. Love them

How to Make Fiddlehead Sauté
- 1In a stainless steel frying pan, heat butter over medium high heat
- 2Fry onion and garlic for two minutes
- 3Add fiddleheads and stir well
- 4Sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon juice, sugar and paprika, while stirring constantly. Sauté until fiddleheads are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
