A delightful Italian appetizer featuring seasonal spring fiddleheads wrapped in prosciutto and pan-seared, then drizzled with Sicily's versatile Salmoriglio sauce. An authentic dish that's surprisingly easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (4 servings)
- Fiddleheads 24-28 pcs
- Prosciutto 8 slices
- All-purpose flour (for dusting) (as needed)
- Olive oil (for searing) (a little)
- Baking soda (for purging) (as needed)
Seasonings
- [A] Lemon Juice (from 1/2 lemon)
- [A] Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 tbsp
- [A] Salt (to taste)
- [A] Dried Oregano 2 tsp
- [A] Parsley (chopped) (a little)
Steps
- Trim off the dry, discolored parts from the base of the fiddleheads. (Key Tip!) You can leave the spore-covered ends if you prefer a slightly bitter flavor.
- Dissolve baking soda (as needed) in water just before it boils (around 90°C / 194°F).
- Immerse the fiddleheads in the baking soda water and weigh them down with a kitchen paper or a small plate to keep them submerged.
- Leave them to soak overnight (approximately 8 hours) to remove bitterness.
- After soaking, rinse the fiddleheads once and soak them in fresh water.
- Lay out 8 slices of prosciutto. Bunch about 5 fiddleheads together and wrap them diagonally and tightly with prosciutto.
- Lightly dust the prosciutto-wrapped fiddleheads with all-purpose flour (as needed).
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan. Sear the prosciutto-wrapped fiddleheads until lightly browned all over. (Key Tip!) It's enough to cook them until they are tender and warmed through from the residual heat.
- In a bowl, combine lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon), 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt (to taste), 2 tsp dried oregano, and a little chopped parsley.
- Place the bowl of sauce over a double boiler (bain-marie) and whisk until the ingredients are smoothly emulsified. (Key Tip!) This sauce can separate easily, so using a double boiler helps achieve a delicious, smooth consistency.
- Arrange the pan-seared prosciutto-wrapped fiddleheads on a plate and generously drizzle with the prepared Salmoriglio sauce. Enjoy!
