Cardoni!

For my Bay Area readers, please note that on Friday, Monterrey Market in Berkeley had the best cardoni I have seen in a long time for 39 cents per bunch. Last night I trimmed and parboiled (in water with key lime juice and kosher salt) two bunches. Today I coated them in olive oil and grilled them. I finished them with seaweed salt (from Cost Plus). They were very tasty, at least to my Tuscan tastes.

In Tuscan dialect, they are called Gobbi, by the way. Gobbi, Cardoni, Cardoons, whatever you call them, they are delicious.
