    This week I started my Field Good's delivery again. When I got the email that talked about fiddleheads and ramps, well, I knew I had to start back up!  Hence, this Italian Sausage Orecchiette with Fiddleheads & Ramps entered our life.

    Sausage Orecchiette with Fiddleheads, & Ramps
    I have never had fiddleheads ever in my life.  I wasn't sure quite what to expect.  I read they kind of resembled asparagus or green beans.  Well, I am not sure that is what I think, but I can tell you they are delicious!  I would happily make these again.
    Sausage Orecchiette with Fiddleheads, & Ramps
    I made sure to clean the fiddleheads really well, I removed any brown skin that was on them and then rinsed them at least 4 times with water.  When steaming the water in the bottom of my pan still was a rusty color.  I've never cooked these before so I am not sure what I was supposed to expect!  However, they are delicious!  I would have never known if it were not for Field Goods, our weekly fresh produce supplier 🙂
    Grumpy loved this recipe.  So much so, that he ate everything I did not!!  I definitely will be looking to have the treat called fiddleheads again and definitely will make this recipe again.
    Have you ever had fiddleheads  before?  How do you like to eat them?
