Who has heard of cardoons? They’re quite popular in Italy, but a bit labour intensive to prepare thanks to their prickles. The commercially produced ones are huge, while their wild cousins are still very thistle like. Giuseppa shows us how to stuff and braise them. They can be served on their own or with pasta.
You can find the whole video with the recipe on our YouTube channel!

Stuffed celery?😂
Looks like Cardoni to me. My grandma used to boil it and then dredge it in flour and egg and fry it. Served with lemon 😉
Cardoonies?
Cardoon absolutely delicious
Cardoon, such a lot of work! I had some plants but I just kept them for the bees!
Yum
I remove these invasive plants out of my yard every year. Didn’t know they were edible.🤷🏾♀️😂😂😂
From a time when you ate the weeds! Technique makes a feast❤❤❤❤. Regards, Stephen.
My grandmother made a soup with it for the holidays. Chicken soup, mini meatballs, cardone then she put beaten eggs in the soup. Great memories. Can taste it now.
Pass, I don’t like them.
هده النبة نسميها في المغرب الكرنينة ناكلها مع البصل واللحم او الدجاج في الطاجين انها لديدة ❤
Cardoons… They are so good… Not a lot of people know them, it tends to be regional only in Spain, in France… But anyone who tastes them like them a lot, they are really delicate and soft.
Cardoons are delicious, and like their artichoke friends, they make you work for it. There’s so much prickly waste, and they take a long time to grow, prepare, and cook. And they are so worth it.
Skills. Looks good and succulent in the tomato sauce. Looking up raccordi
Cardone……..I boil, egg, bread and fry em in olive oil. I've made gratin with them too with bechamel. cheese with breadcrumb crust.
Cardons, as they are known in Geneva, Switzerland, are a regional specialty, especially at Christmas. You precook them in a Blanc, or water with lemon juice, a little flour and or milk to keep them from oxidising, then cover in bechamel and Gruyère cheese and cook till bubbling. They taste similar to artichoke hearts, very tasty!
