  • About

Cardoons look like giant prickly celery, but taste like artichokes, and are often served in gratins. Fennel would make a good substitute for the cardoons.

Ingredients

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 pounds cardoons
  • 4

Method

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.

Have ready a large bowl of water to which you have added the lemon juice. Trim the prickly leaves from the cardoons and
