ONION TART
The chef André Soltner served this classic warm onion tart almost every day for 43 years at Lutèce, his world-famous restaurant in New York City. It was for a whole generation the pinnacle of elegant French cuisine in the United States, and yet the tart is straightforward and uncomplicated, rustic and refined all at once. Let the onions slowly caramelize - don't hasten the cooking by jacking up the heat - and you will be rewarded with a haunting savory-sweet tart in the end that is still irresistible decades later, the very definition of an enduring classic.

Steps:
- Blend flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter butter over flour, top with lid and pulse 12 pulses to cut butter into flour to a coarse meal consistency.
- Dump butter-flour mixture into a medium stainless bowl. Make a well in the center and pour ice-cold water into the well.
- Using a flexible plastic dough scraper instead of your warm hands, bring the dough together by folding and pressing. Be firm and brisk and get the dough past its shaggy stage into a neat disk, trying to avoid using your hands or too much kneading. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Meanwhile, cut the onions in half and peel them. Slice the halves with the ribs (root end to sprout end direction), not against, to create julienne slices rather than half moons.
- In a wide sauté pan over medium-low heat, melt the bacon fat and slowly sweat the onions until they are caramelized. Take all the minutes you need - 25 or so - to let them soften to translucent, then to let the water they release start to evaporate, then to allow the sugars they contain to start to brown in the pan, so that you end up with soft, sweet and evenly browned onions. This is achieved by a slow caramelization. Set onions aside to cool.
- Roll tart dough out to a 1/4-inch-thick round, and drape over a round 10-inch fluted false-bottom tart pan. Lay dough into the pan, gently pressing into the bottom, and roll the pin across the pan to cut off the excess dough. Use your fingers to press the edges into the flutes, accentuating the shape of the dough edge. Dock the bottom of the dough with the tines of a fork, weight the pastry with beans or weight and blind-bake for 25 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat the egg with the cream. Stir in the caramelized onions. Season with pepper, nutmeg and salt to taste. Stir well, and make sure the onions are all evenly coated with the custard.
- Remove tart shell from oven, and slip it onto a baking sheet. Remove weights, fill with the onion-custard mixture and distribute it evenly. Return tart to oven on the sheet, and bake for 25 minutes, or until custard has set, the tops of the onions start to achieve a deeper brown and the dough is dark golden brown at the edges.
- Remove from the ring, and allow to cool just a few minutes on the rack, so that the piping hot tart shell can kind of tighten up enough to be sliced with a sharp chef's knife. (In the first few minutes straight out of the oven, the dough is kind of soft from the heat, possibly giving you the false impression that you have a soggy tart. Let it sit on the rack just to shake off this initial soft stage and to recrisp and refirm, which it will.) Cut into wedges, and serve while hot.

Steps:
- Combine flours in bowl, and freeze 1 hour. Freeze butter cubes 1 hour.
- 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. Give dough quarter turn, and repeat rolling and folding. Repeat another time. Roll dough again, but this time fold it in thirds like a business letter. 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.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On floured surface, roll dough to make rectangle 9 by 13 inches, 1/4 inch thick. Crimp edges, and transfer to baking sheet. 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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Slide a baking sheet in to heat. Roll the pastry out enough to line a deep 20cm flan tin or a shallow 23cm one. Chill for 10 mins.
- Put a few balls of crumpled foil in the base of the pastry case and bake on the baking sheet for 10 mins. Remove the foil and bake for 5 mins more, until light golden.
- Meanwhile, cook the onions in the oil until starting to soften, then add thyme, pepper, and salt if you want to. Cook slowly for about 15 mins until the onions are soft and tinged brown.
- Beat the eggs, beat in the milk and half the cheese and some pepper. Spread the onions over the flan case and pour in the egg mix. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake the tart on the baking sheet for 30-40 mins until the filling is firm and golden, and the pastry crisp. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:
- For perfectly caramelized onions, use a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. This will allow the onions to caramelize slowly and evenly without burning. - Adding a pinch of sugar to the onions as they caramelize will help them brown more quickly and deeply. - Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is best for this recipe. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. - If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it. - Use a sharp knife to slice the onion thinly and evenly. This will help them caramelize evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan when caramelizing the onions. This will prevent them from browning properly. - Be patient! Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to 45 minutes to get them to the perfect golden brown color.Conclusion:
This caramelized onion tart with olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and savory flavors of the caramelized onions pair perfectly with the salty olives and creamy cheese. This tart is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
