Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons sugar
9 to 11 small Vidalia or other sweet onions, peeled (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 leek, white part only, well washed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried, plus more for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Herbed Pastry

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle; sprinkle with sugar, and remove from heat.
  • Cut 6 of the onions in half crosswise, and fit them snugly into the pan, cut sides down. (Cut more onions if necessary to cover pan.) Cut leeks into lengths about the same height as the onion halves, and fit them into spaces near center of the pan. Sprinkle with half the thyme leaves; add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice remaining onions 1/4 inch thick, and arrange over onion halves. Sprinkle with remaining thyme; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until onions are a deep golden brown on the cut side. Shake pan gently from time to time and rotate its position on the burner to ensure even browning.
  • Pour stock and vinegar over onions; bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, or until onions are very tender. Remove lid, raise heat, and cook until liquid is syrupy and almost completely reduced. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry 3/8 inch thick to a diameter slightly larger than pan. Wrap dough around rolling pin; unroll over pan. Tuck in excess.
  • Place pan in oven, and bake until pastry is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme.

VIDALIA ONION TART WITH BACON, LOCAL HONEY, AND FRESH THYME



Vidalia Onion Tart with Bacon, Local Honey, and Fresh Thyme image

Categories     Food Processor     Onion     Vegetable     Brunch     Bake     Dinner     Condiment     Meat     Bacon     Honey     Thyme     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Pastry:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold, unsweetened butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
4 slices bacon
5 large Vidalia onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons local honey
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons whole cream
Equipment:
1 (12-inch) tart pan or 2 (9-inch) tart pans

Steps:

  • To prepare the pastry, pulse together the flour, butter, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a plastic blade until the butter is about the size of small peas-about ten pulses. Gradually, drizzle in the ice water while pulsing. The amount needed will depend on the moisture content of the flour. Add just enough water for the dough to form a loose ball. Turn the pastry out onto a lightly floured surface and quickly form the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to three days) to rest. Preheat oven to 375 degrees about 20 minutes before you're planning to bake the tart.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon in a single layer and cook, turning as needed, until the bacon is crispy and the fat has been rendered. Remove the bacon to drain on paper towels to cool, chopping coarsely once cool enough to handle. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat (discarding the rest or using for another purpose) in the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook over medium heat until the onions have softened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Do not let the onions brown!
  • Add the wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until the wine has cooked down to a glaze, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the honey and reserved chopped bacon. Stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove the onion mixture from the heat and spoon into a shallow pan; refrigerate to cool. When cooled, drain off any excess pan juices and stir in the egg and cream. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  • To assemble, roll the reserved dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Line the pan(s) with the pastry and form even edges. Refrigerate another 10 minutes, then line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the paper and weights and bake another 15 to 20 minutes to brown the bottom. Allow to cool slightly before filling. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Fill the pastry crust with the onion mixture and bake until golden brown and the filling is set, about 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a combination of butter and olive oil.
  • Make sure the onions are thinly sliced and evenly distributed in the pan.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat until they are caramelized and golden brown.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the onions from burning.
  • If the onions start to stick to the pan, add a little water or white wine.
  • When the onions are caramelized, sprinkle them with sugar and balsamic vinegar.
  • Let the onions cool slightly before topping them with the puff pastry.
  • Bake the tarte tatin in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the onions are bubbly.
  • Let the tarte tatin cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • Serve the tarte tatin warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Vidalia onion tarte tatin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. The combination of caramelized onions, puff pastry, and balsamic vinegar is simply irresistible. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy Vidalia onions, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
