- Step 1Put water with salt on to heat in a pot and, while waiting for it to boil, remove the greener leaves from the artichokes, leaving only the hearts. Rinse them, wash them and cut them into slices.
- Step 2When the water comes to a boil, add the artichoke hearts and let them cook for 8 minutes. After this time, drain them and set aside.
- Step 3Remove the outer layer and the greenest part of the leek, make a few lengthwise cuts, wash it and finely chop it. Peel the onion and finely chop it too. Set aside.
- Step 4Soak the flax seeds in the water, stir and set aside.
- Step 5In a wide frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and, when it is warm, add the onion and leek and sweat them for 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Step 6Next, add the artichoke, sauté for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat.
- Step 7Preheat the oven to 175 °C and, meanwhile, put the cream, the flax and water mixture, the salt and the spices in a large bowl and stir carefully with a whisk so that all the ingredients combine well. When everything is well combined, add the contents of the frying pan and stir again.
- Step 8Line a rectangular mold large enough to hold all the batter with baking paper, pour the batter in, put the mold in the oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Step 9After this time, cover the mold with baking paper and bake for 1 more hour.
- Step 10After this time, check that the cake is well baked by inserting the tip of a knife. Take the mold out of the oven when the knife comes out clean, let it cool (about 30 minutes) and carefully unmold it. Once unmolded, cut it into pieces and serve.
