The tiny, curled fronds of fern, which have gained a reputation as
one of Canada's national foods, come in a large part from the
Matapedia River valley. At Auberge La Coulee Douce in Causapcal,
Suzanne Couisneau likes to steam fiddleheads, then season then with
garlic sauce.

Shake fresh fiddleheads in a paper bag until brown skins come off;
discard skins. Steam fresh or frozen, unthawed, fiddleheads until just
tender. Meanwhile, heat butter in heavy frying pan and saute garlic
and shallots until softened. Blend in soya sauce, sugar and wine. Add
steamed fiddleheads, turning to coat them well in sauce. Serve at
once. SERVES:4
