Caramelized Onion And Anchovy Tart (pissaladière)
Caramelized Onion and Anchovy Tart, also known as Pissaladière, is a classic French dish that features a delicious combination of sweet caramelized onions and salty anchovies on a thin, crispy crust. This savory tart is perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer for a dinner party.
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry
- 12 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup black olives, pitted
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 5 minutes to caramelize them.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet and prick the surface with a fork. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the anchovy fillets in a crisscross pattern over the onions. Place the black olives in the gaps between the anchovies. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
