Pissaladière aux Anchois

Pissaladière aux Anchois is a savory tart from Nice, France, featuring a crisp base topped with caramelized onions, anchovies, and olives. This healthy seafood dish is both flavorful and satisfying, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Onions - 300 grams, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Anchovy fillets - 8 pieces
• Black olives - 50 grams, pitted and halved
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and water. Knead into a smooth dough, cover with a cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized (about 15 minutes). Stir in the chopped thyme and season with black pepper.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a baking dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and prick it with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the dough. Arrange the anchovy fillets on top in a decorative pattern and scatter the black olives.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
6. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
