Pissaladière
Transport yourself to the balmy Mediterranean coast of Southern France with this classic tart. Comprised of four main elements: puff pastry, caramelized onions, anchovies and black olives, it's simple to make and delicious, too! The ideal summer appetizer, picnic item, or afternoon snack. All you need is a chilled glass of rosé!
Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions sliced
- 1 heaping tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 dash whiskey optional
- puff pastry
- 1 jar anchovies
- Niçoise olives
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the onions. Sauteé them for a couple of minutes and turn the heat to medium low. Stir occasionally for 20 minutes.
- Add the honey and whiskey to the onions and continue stirring occasionally until they've caramelized.
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle and transfer to the prepared pan.
- Prick the dough with a fork, but leave the edges unmarked.
- Spread the caramelized onions over the dough, arrange the anchovies in a crisscross pattern and stud with black olives.
- Bake for 20 minutes, rotating it in the oven halfway through. Finish by garnishing with fresh thyme, if desired.
- Enjoy with a glass of chilled rosé!
Notes
Onions can also be caramelized in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours, or in an Instant Pot.
