Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, leaves
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup oil-cured small black olives, pitted and halved lengthwise
4 to 6 anchovy fillets (optional), rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter with oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme, and cook until onions are golden and soft, about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry, and trim to an 8 1/2-by-15-inch rectangle. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, transfer to oven, and immediately reduce oven to 400. Bake until pastry begins to rise, about 12 minutes.
  • Arrange onions in a single layer over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around edge. Top with olives and anchovies if using. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 375 degrees, and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes more (tent with foil if crust browns too quickly). Cut into squares.

Salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 medium onions, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes

  • In a bowl or food processor, mix frozen flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add butter, and cut with pastry blender or pulse until butter is size of peas. Add up to 1/4 cup ice water, just until mixture holds together (if using food processor, transfer mixture to bowl first). Turn onto lightly floured surface and pat into shape of small rectangle. Chunks of butter will show. Roll out dough, making rectangle about 5 by 7 inches, 1/2 inch thick. Fold narrow ends toward center so they meet. Fold in half again to make 4 layers.

Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic, thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Add tomatoes, increase heat and cook until almost dry, 10 to 15 minutes. Add anchovies and olives, season and set aside.

Cover dough with onion mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Bake until crust is golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut in portions or small squares, and serve.
