Not so long ago, we discovered an edible fern during our many visits to the wet market. In fact, I blogged about it before here. There are so many ways to prepare such. Blanching is one common way to prepare it or you can cook the young leaves in coconut cream.
Last Saturday, we chanced upon fresh leaves in the market. I made it into a veggie salad by adding julienned white onions, ginger, tomatoes and ground pork. I blanched it first with hot water then added the ingredients together with the ground pork later. It tasted so good.
It is locally known as pako. It is not grown as vegetable but grows in the wild. Not all ferns are edible though so one should be familiar with it. It is a perfect side dish for grilled fish or pork.
