1 Prepare the cardoons (see below).
2 In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cardoons and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until coated with the butter, about 1 minute.
3 Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cream is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with cheese and serve hot.
PREPARE CARDOONS
1 Squeeze the lemon into a large bowl of cold water. Trim the ends of the cardoons and separate the stalk into ribs. With a paring knife, peel each rib to remove the long tough strings and any leaves. Cut each rib into 3-inch lengths. Place the pieces in the lemon water.
2 Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Drain the cardoons and add them to the pan. Boil until tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well and cool under running water. Pat the pieces dry.
