Now wash, rinse and cut, the long red bell pepper, and remove all the seeds you'll find inside of it. Cut in finelly long slices and then cut it in half, cut the leek, and wash some fresh basil leaves, more others to garnish.
Season the bell pepper and the kale with some soy sauce and combine well with the chickpeas, and the carrots.
It's time to assemble the loaf:
In a plumcake mold, place a gently oiled parchment paper, cover with a first layer of chickpeas, al least 5 cm high, then spread the kale, all of it, and cover with the other chickpeas layer. Sprinkle some hemp seeds flour, and use some fresh basil leaves, or, in alternative, spread the red sauce with the fresh basil. To prepare the red sauce you'll only combine and mix all the ingredients.
