Wash the cardoons, strip away the fibers, and chop them into 2-inch lengths. Boil them until close to fork tender in lightly salted water (add in wather one table spoon of flour).

I love cardoons since I first found them in Christmas eve tortellini broth in L'Aquila. Tuscan cooking is amazing because it turns so many so-called "poorer" foods into tasty dishes.
