Method 1. Before you start

Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). 2. Prep tart

Remove the corn kernels from the cob. Grate courgette. Heat butter in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Cook courgette for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Stir through corn and season with salt and pepper. 3. Assemble tart

Place pastry on a lined oven tray. Prick with a fork and evenly spread mustard over the middle of pastry leaving a 2cm border.

Arrange corn mixture in a single layer over pastry, leaving the border free. Reserve frypan. Fold border of pastry up and over edge of corn to make the crust.

Press down firmly, especially on corners to ensure it stays folded when cooking. Brush crust with egg wash. 4. Cook tart

Crumble over feta and bake tart on lower oven rack for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden. Remove from oven and cool for 2-3 minutes, before slicing. 5. Prep vinaigrett­e

Wipe reserved pan clean and heat on medium heat. Toast seeds, stirring often for 2-3 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining vinaigrett­e ingredient­s to bowl, whisk and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside for serving. 6. Prep salad

Cut tomatoes in half. Add to a large bowl with lettuce and vinaigrett­e. Pick basil leaves.

Serve

Cut tart into pieces and top with basil. Serve salad on the side.
