CARD FLAN / FLAN CARDOONS
Clean up 300g of thistles (for 6-7 flan), remove the strands and cook in salted water and milk until they soften; when soft drain well, cut into cubes and brown in a frying pan with oil, a clove of garlic and half a sliced \u200b\u200bonion for 5-10 minutes. Prepare the white sauce with 2 tablespoons of flour and 40g of butter, toast, stirring for a few seconds until you have obtained a cream then add 600ml warm milk turning well to avoid lumps. Cook until it thickens, add salt and nutmeg. Whisk together the thistles and add the onion to the sauce, mix well. United 60g grated Parmesan, and two egg yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff and add to mixture, stirring gently. Grease and flour the molds for the flan and fill two-thirds. Put them in a water bath in oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Check the area with the blade of a knife and if it is dry they are cooked. Upside down on a plate da portata e versate sopra un cucchiaio di fonduta o di bagna cauda. (Per la cottura dovreste provare una cottura normale... ho dovuto allungare il tempo di cottura perchè erano sempre troppo molli. Magari il bagnomaria li inumidiva troppo.)
Clean well 300gr of cardoons (or thistles!! don't really know which is the different), remove the filaments and cut in pieces; let them cook in salted water and milk until soften then drain well. Cut the cardoons into cubes and brown in a pan with oil, a clove of garlic and half onion cut in slices; cook for 5-10 minutes. Prepare a bechamel with 2 tbspoon of flour and 40gr of butter: cook briefly, stirring well until it becomes a cream; then add in 600ml of warm milk stirring very well to avoid lumps. Cook until it thickens, add salt and nutmeg. Blend the cardoons, add bechamel and mix well. Add 60gr of grated Parmesan and 2 yolks. Whip the egg whites and add in the compound mixing gently. Grease with butter and flour the molds for flan and fill them two thirds. Put them in the oven (180°) and bake in water bath for 30 minutes. Check the cooking with the blade of a knife: if it's dry the flan is cooked. Invert on a plate and pour with FONDUTA or BAGNA CAUDA. (now read the recipes on wikipedia, next time I'll give you mine!).
(baking in water bath I had to lenghten cooking time because flan were too soft: next time I'll try a normal cookin in the oven!!)
