ONION AND OLIVE PIE



Onion and Olive Pie image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 pound unsalted butter, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water
2 tablespoons sweet butter
3 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 anchovy fillets
1 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and halved

Steps:

  • To make the crust, use fingertips to quickly work the flour into the butter until the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Add the salt. Beat the egg yolk into the ice water. Form a well in the flour and butter mixture, pour in the liquid and, using the heel of the hand, work the liquid into the flour mixture until the dough can be shaped into a ball. Wrap in plastic. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Make the filling by melting the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions are light brown, about 15 minutes. Adjust the flame to avoid burning. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and place in a large pie or tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and crimp the edges.
  • Arrange the anchovies in a starburst pattern from the center of the pie. Sprinkle on half of the black olives. Layer in half of the onions, then the remaining black olives and then top with the remaining onions. Bake the tart until the crust is golden and the onions are caramelized and brown, 40 to 50 minutes.

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.

PISSALADIERE (ONION, OLIVE, AND ANCHOVY PIZZA)



Pissaladiere (Onion, Olive, and Anchovy Pizza) image

Pissaladière is a pizza-like dish made in Southern France, around the Nice, Marseilles, Toulon and the Var District, and in the Italian region of Liguria, especially in the Province of Imperia. It can be considered a type of white pizza, as no tomatoes are used. The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic Italian pizza traditional topping consists of caramelized (almost pureed) onions, olives, garlic and anchovies. No cheese is used in France, however, in the nearby Italian town of San Remo, mozzarella is added.
