The fiddleheads which started this thread have been sauteed in butter and sesame oil with a couple of cloves of garlic [finely chopped], a few brussels sprouts, Baby Bella mushrooms, a little [less than an ounce] soy sauce and just a tad of pepper and salt. After going on line and seeing a lot of contradictory cooking advice, we kept it simple and actively sauteed in a hot pan over medium heat for 8 minutes until everything was tender. Heavenly.
