Fiddlehead Risotto is a rich rice dish built around the Fiddlehead Fern, a forage from the Secret Woods. It is one of the last recipes The Queen of Sauce teaches, and that episode is the only way to learn it. The dish restores a lot of energy and health, and it sells for more than its ingredients are worth. Clint and Kent both love it, which makes it one of the better gifts for two villagers who are hard to please.
The in-game description reads: A creamy rice dish served with sauteed fern heads. It's a little bland.
Recipe
The Queen of Sauce teaches Fiddlehead Risotto at the very end of Fall in the second year. If the Sunday episode is missed, the channel can replay it as a rerun on a later Wednesday.
Cooking Oil with a Fiddlehead Fern and Garlic makes Fiddlehead Risotto. Each ingredient comes from a different season, so the dish takes some planning.
The Fiddlehead Fern grows wild in the Secret Woods in Summer. A Large Log blocks the way into the woods, and only a Steel Axe or better can clear it. Clint upgrades the axe at the Blacksmith. Ferns found in Summer should go into a chest, because the recipe only arrives at the end of Fall.
Garlic is a Spring crop. Pierre's General Store sells Garlic Seeds from the second year onward, and the crop grows quickly. Oil is sold at Pierre's General Store all year. An Oil Maker turns Corn or Sunflowers into Oil at home, which is much cheaper than buying it.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Fiddlehead Risotto restores a large amount of energy and health. It is a plain but filling meal, valued for recovery alone. It sits among the better energy foods for a long day in the Mines or the fields.
Prices
Fiddlehead Risotto sells for more than its three ingredients would earn if sold raw. The margin grows when the Oil is made at home instead of bought at Pierre's General Store. For a farm with spare ferns and garlic, the risotto is a sensible way to add value.
Gifts
Clint and Kent love Fiddlehead Risotto. A loved gift gives almost twice the friendship of a liked one. Clint's birthday is in Winter and Kent's is in Spring, so a few spare plates kept in a chest cover both.
Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent and the Wizard like it.
Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it.
These villagers love receiving Fiddlehead Risotto as a gift.

Notes
In tailoring, Fiddlehead Risotto in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Blacksmith Apron. It is a fitting pairing, since the blacksmith Clint loves the dish.
The Chef's Bundle on the Bulletin Board also asks for a Fiddlehead Fern. Keep one fern back for the bundle before cooking the rest.
