fiddlehead fern is the curled section (new) spring shoot of the fern..look it up in a plant book to be sure you have the correct fern (found all over US) they are the tender new growth that sprouts out of the center of the fern plant– they melt in your mouth. any substitute would not do justice (possibly dandelion greens could be used)

This was a very simple recipe and very good. Author omitted the oven temperature. I used a 350 degree oven.
