Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 to 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
10 anchovy fillets, optional
4 pounds Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dough, put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon and slowly add the water until a dough begins to form. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  • To make the filling, pour the olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring until they dissolve. Add the onions, salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
  • On a well floured work surface, roll out 1 of the disks to about 1/8-inch thick rectangle to fit the size of the sheet pan and line the pan with the dough. Spread the filling out over the dough, roll out the second disk a little larger than the sheet pan and place it over the onions. Crimp the edges, brush with olive oil and cut vent slits into the top. Transfer the pan into the top half of the oven and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool, slice and serve at room temperature.

Optional additions can be sweet red pepper to the onions as they cook and/or crumbled bacon or fresh ham bits may be added to the mixture prior to baking. All versions are great! If desired, a couple Vidalia onion rings look great on the top of the pie for decoration!

Tips:

  • Selecting the right onions is crucial. Yellow onions are the most common choice for onion pies, but you can also use white or red onions depending on your preference.
  • Caramelizing the onions is a key step in this recipe. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the onions and adds a rich, deep flavor to the pie.
  • If you don't have time to caramelize the onions, you can use store-bought caramelized onions. However, homemade caramelized onions have a much better flavor.
  • Use a high-quality cheese for the filling. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the pie a rich, flavorful taste.
  • If you want a gooey, cheesy filling, add an extra cup of cheese to the recipe.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but not over.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Onion pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
