Pissaladière Végétarienne

Pissaladière Végétarienne is a delightful twist on the classic French dish, featuring a savory base of caramelized onions, olives, and roasted vegetables atop a flaky pastry. This vegetarian version captures the essence of the traditional recipe while providing a colorful and healthy alternative.

Ingredients

• Puff pastry - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Yellow onions - 2 medium, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Black olives - 100 grams, pitted and sliced
• Fresh thyme - 2 teaspoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Balsamic vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 15 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, black olives, fresh thyme, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a baking sheet. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet.
6. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm.
