  7. For in the dry white wine and let it reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
  8. Add the chopped cardoons and lemon artichokes to the skillet and stir to combine.
  9. For in the vegetable broth and fresh lemon juice, then season with salt and ground black pepper.
  10. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes or until the veal is tender and the cardoons are cooked through.

  12. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
