French onion tart

An adaptation of Pissaldiere, an onion tart from Nice, sold in slices from the markets and bread shops of Provence. The authentic recipe is made from yeast dough, but for a quicker version, this uses a scone-type dough.

What you need

175 g self-raising flour
1 pinch salt
50 g sunflower margarine
100 ml skimmed milk
for the topping
60 ml olive oil
900 g large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
seasoning
50 g anchovy fillets, well drained and halved lengthwise
12-14 pitted black olives

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions and garlic. Cover. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally for 30 min until onions are very soft.

  2. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  3. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the margarine. Stir in enough of the milk to make a soft but not sticky dough.

  4. Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface to a 30 cm (12in) round. Place on a greased baking tray or pizza pan.

  5. Stir the thyme and seasoning into the cooked onions. Spread the mixture over the dough. Make a lattice pattern using the anchovies. Place an olive in each gap.

  6. Cook in the oven for 30 min. Serve warm in slices.
