Chopped rosemary
Maldon salt and black pepper
2 aubergines
4 plum tomatoes, roughly chopped (skin and seeds retained)
1.5g chilli flakes
2g mixed spice
3g toasted cumin

50ml olive oil
25ml balsamic vinegar
8g Maldon sea salt

Light sprinkling Herbes de Provence
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the onions, raisins, spices, thyme, ginger, salt, and sugar (excluding the vinegars).
Cover and sweat gently for 12–15 minutes until soft.
Remove the lid and cook for a further 3–4 minutes until lightly caramelised.
Add the vinegars and reduce slowly until sticky, glossy, and golden. Cool and reserve.
Blend all ingredients to a coarse pesto. Adjust seasoning and chill until required.
Brush one sheet of filo with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with rosemary, Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
Lay another sheet on top, press down firmly, removing any air, and repeat the process. Add the third sheet, brush with oil, and season lightly (no herbs on top).
Cut into large squares (6 per sheet).
Bake sandwiched between parchment and two heavy trays at 180°C for 8–10 minutes, until dark golden and crisp. Cool.
Rub the aubergines with oil, season, and grill until deeply charred all over. Cool, chop into 2cm pieces, and drain in a colander for 60 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onions, spices, and garlic until lightly golden. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, tomato purée, and seasonings. Cook over medium-high heat until caramelised.
Add the aubergine and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Deglaze with balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 5 minutes. Finish with lemon zest, coriander, remaining salt, spread onto a tray, cover, and chill.
Spread the filo with olive tapenade, followed by the onion lyonnaise and aubergine relish. Layer over the Berkswell cheese to fully cover. Drizzle lightly with pesto and bake at 180°C for 5 minutes until just melted.
Top the warm tart with a lightly dressed rocket salad and serve immediately.
