Steps:
- Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Roll out the pastry thinly and cut out a 24cm square. Cut into three, then in half to make six rectangles, and transfer to a baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork, brush with a little beaten egg and sprinkle with half the thyme. Bake for 12-15 minutes until pale golden, then press the pastries down lightly to flatten slightly and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Heat 3 tbsp of the olive oil in a small pan, add the onions and the remaining thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook very gently, stirring often, for about 30 minutes until the onions are completely softened but not coloured. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Spread out the peppers over the grill pan, skin side up. Grill until the skins are evenly blackened. When cool enough, peel off the skins. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
- Cut the aubergine into 12 slices and spread out over the grill pan. Brush lightly with olive oil and heat under the grill until lightly coloured, then turn over, brush again with olive oil and grill until just tender. Transfer to a dish, drizzle with a little more olive oil and add the garlic. Stir gently and leave to cool. (Up to this point, everything can be prepared up to a day ahead. Wrap the pastry in foil, cover the vegetables and store in the fridge.)
- Up to an hour before serving, set the pastry rectangles on a baking sheet and spread each with a thin layer of onion. Arrange the yellow peppers, aubergine and tomatoes on top. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little basil oil and bake for 5-8 minutes until warmed through. To serve, transfer to serving plates and pile a small handful of rocket on the side. Drizzle each portion with lemon juice and a little more basil oil.

Steps:
- Pat quartered artichoke hearts dry with paper towels. Cut each prosciutto slice crosswise in half. Wrap each artichoke heart quarter in halved prosciutto slice.

Bake until gratin is bubbling and sauce thickens, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Chop and measure all ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Use Fresh Artichokes: Fresh artichokes provide the best flavor and texture for this tart. If using frozen artichokes, thaw them completely and drain excess moisture before using.
- Cook Artichokes Properly: Boil or steam the artichokes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can make them mushy.
- Choose High-Quality Prosciutto: Opt for thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma or prosciutto di San Daniele for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a Tart Pan with Removable Bottom: This makes it easier to remove the tart from the pan after baking.
- Blind Bake the Tart Crust: Pre-baking the tart crust ensures that it is crispy and cooked through before adding the filling.
- Arrange Artichokes and Prosciutto Artistically: Take your time to arrange the artichokes and prosciutto in an attractive pattern on the tart.
- Brush the Tart with Egg Wash: This helps to brown the crust and give it a golden color.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
