Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Heat the oven to 210°C (420°F).

Prepare 1 leek and 1 shallot.

Then finely chop both of them.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on medium heat.

When hot, add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper and cook for 1 or 2 minutes while stirring.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Add the chopped leek and leave to cook uncovered until the leek is just tender but still slightly crunchy.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

In a food processor bowl, put: 250 g flour, 4 eggs, 100 ml olive oil, 10 g baking powder, 30 g butter, pepper and salt. Mix on slow speed until the mixture is smooth.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Add the leek and 200 g tuna in oil to the mixture and mix well.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Pour the mixture into a loaf tin or mould and bake.

Stage 7 - 40 min.

Leave to cook for about 40 minutes; the top should be golden brown and the middle just cooked, because if it is overcooked, the cake tends to dry out.
