This recipe is a great way to use up any half-full jars you have. We used Aubergine Mezze and Balsamic Tomatoes, but you can substitute other Mezze Pastes, Tapenades or Harissas if you want a kick! The varieties of cheese can also be swapped, but we do recommend keeping the whipped feta as it complements the rest of the Mediterranean toppings.

Ingredients

1 packet of white or seeded wraps

1 jar Balsamic Semi-Dried Tomatoes

2 spring onions, finely sliced

1/3 cucumber, diced

1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped

200g feta, crumbled

1 tin of flageolet/cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 jar Aubergine Mezze

300g cheddar or red Leicester cheese, coarsely grated

100g Pitted Kalamata Olives

12 Guindillas/pickled chillies

Handful of fresh mint, chopped

Instructions

Heat oven to 150C/Fan 130C/Gas Mark 2. Brush the wraps on both sides with some of the oil from the Balsamic Tomatoes, then place on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes in the oven until they are crisp. When cool, break the wraps into smaller pieces, about the size of a tortilla chip.
Meanwhile, drain and reserve the oil from the Balsamic Tomatoes, roughly chop the Tomatoes then place in a bowl with the spring onions, cucumber and garlic. Add some of the oil to the salsa to loosen it.
Put the feta, a little oil from the Balsamic Tomatoes and 1tbsp water into a food processor. Blitz until smooth, light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed. Place aside until needed.
Place the beans in a bowl and crush with a fork until they have a creamy consistency. Add the Aubergine Mezze and mix well to combine.
When ready to assemble, set the oven to 170C/Fan 150C/Gas Mark 3 and line a baking tray with a piece of baking paper. Place a layer of chips on the tray and spoon 1/3 of the bean and aubergine mix over, then sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat and build up 3-4 layers. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and while hot, spoon over the tomato salsa, feta and sprinkle the Olives, Guindillas and mint then serve immediately.
