*If you're not on a dairy-free diet, replacing the plant-based drink with cow's milk is an option.
To cook the fiddleheads, follow these steps :
- Clean well, taking care to remove the small brown film that covers them.
- Place them in a dish and cover them with cold water and the juice of half a lemon. Leave to soak for 10 to 15 minutes then drain.
- Rinse with plenty of water and drain again.
- Steam until tender (about 10 minutes) then run under cold water to stop cooking.
