Preparing a Dish With Cardoon

Take meat and cut it up, wash and put in the pot and pour over enough water to cover. Put in the pot one spoon of oil, two of murri and one of clarified butter, and soaked garbanzos, chopped onion and coriander seed. Peel the cardoons, boil and cut up and throw pepper in the pot with them, and when they are cooked, take two eggs and bread crumbs, cover the contents of the pot well and leave over the coals until the grease comes out, God willing.
