  • Culinary Uses

    Cardoon, a relative of the artichoke, offers culinary versatility. Its stalks can be blanched and served like celery or added to soups and stews for a unique flavor. The tender inner leaves can be harvested and used in salads, while the mature outer leaves can be cooked similarly to chard or spinach. Additionally, cardoon can be breaded and fried, or braised in broth or wine until tender. Its mild, slightly bitter taste adds complexity to a variety of dishes, making it a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.
