VIDALIA ONION PIE
A light dinner of Vidalia onion pie, a nice salad on the side, and a ice cold glass of homemade lemonade is perfect for hot summer nights! 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!

- Whisk together sour cream and yolks, then stir into onions.
- Bake pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.

GERMAN ZWIEBELKUCHEN (ONION PIE)
Zwiebelkuchen is an onion pie from Swabia, in south-central Germany. It is a special time of year, in the fall, when the mom & pop winemakers will open a BasinWirtschaft in their barn or garage. They serve the new wine, fresh zwiebelkuchen, and perhaps some wurst, for a minimal fee. A few tables are set up, and they are open when they have time to serve. To indicate they are serving, they will hang a straw broom over the doorway. The combination of the onions and the 'green' wine can have explosive consequences later on!

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, and add salt to taste. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring from time to time, until they are very soft and beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the mushrooms, turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook until they begin to sweat and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute, and stir in the paprika. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and adjust salt, and stir in the mint, parsley, feta and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in 7 sheets of phyllo dough, placing them not quite evenly on top of one another so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the mushroom and onion mixture. Bring the overhanging edges of the phyllo in over the filling, brushing each sheet with more olive oil, then layer 5 more sheets of dough over the top, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Crimp the edges into the sides of the pan. Pierce the top of the pie in several places with a sharp knife. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Recrisp the crust, if necessary, in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes

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.
