1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Lay the puff pastry on a lined tray.

Spread the Dijon mustard over the base, leaving a 2cm border.

In a pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta in a little oil until crispy. Set aside.

Pour the pancetta fat back into the pan.

Add the onion, garlic and rosemary and cook gently until soft and sweet.

Season lightly and let it cool slightly.

9

Spoon the mixture over the pastry base.

10

Top with the sliced leek, spreading it out evenly.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the leeks are tender with a bit of colour.

12

Mix together the parsley, olive oil, garlic, rosemary and lemon.

13

Once the tart is out of the oven, spoon over the herb mix, crumble over the feta and finish with sliced green chilli.
