Red onion pissalardiere

red onion tart

This red onion pissalardiere is a variation from the traditional pissalardiere.  The pissalardiere is a classic dish from southern France. The pissalardiere is something between a pizza and an onion tart.  It is normally made with brown onion, this recipe is a variation and uses red onions.

Ingredients
  • 2 to 3 large red onions
  • 1 capsicum
  • 1 puff pastry or pate brisee
  • Anchovies
  • Black olives
Method
  1. Pre-heat oven at 180°C
  2. Onions:   chopped the onions finely then slowly cooked them and reduced them.  Seasoned and  add a splash of balsamic vinegar.
  3. Capsicum: cut in long stripes and let to reduce very slowly in a frypan with a lid and 1/3 cup of water and a little salt until cooked.  Add a bit of water if necessary.

    Make sure you keep a watch on the above, they could burn easily, stir from time to time.

  4. Prepare your puff pastry in the tart tin.
  5. Place the onions at the bottom, then the capsicum.  You can add a bit of nutmeg at this stage.  Add a few anchovies.  I added grated Grana Panado (this is what I had in the fridge) and a few black olives.
  6. Bake on 180°C (160°C if fan forced) until the pastry is cooked.
