How do you cook cardone Italian vegetable?

Answer 1

First you have to boil the heck out of it until tender. It takes a up to 2 hrs to get it tender. Make sure you first cut the bottom off and any bad brown spots if any. Take the middle out and throw away. Cut the long pieces in half,then boil. When tender take out and put on paper towels to dry well. Flatten them down if they tend to curl. Set up a bowl of eggs mixed and a paper towel with breadcrumbs on it. You dip the pieces into the egg mixture,then into the breadcrumbs. You have to have a lg. frying pan with olive oil in it. It takes alot of olive oil for this. Put at least a inch deep in pan. Heat the oil,then put each strip into the pan to deepfry. After they are down, spinkle with Romano Cheese or Parmesan
