RUSTIC ONION PIE

Provided by The Hearty Boys

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 to 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
10 anchovy fillets, optional
4 pounds Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dough, put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon and slowly add the water until a dough begins to form. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  • To make the filling, pour the olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring until they dissolve. Add the onions, salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
  • On a well floured work surface, roll out 1 of the disks to about 1/8-inch thick rectangle to fit the size of the sheet pan and line the pan with the dough. Spread the filling out over the dough, roll out the second disk a little larger than the sheet pan and place it over the onions. Crimp the edges, brush with olive oil and cut vent slits into the top. Transfer the pan into the top half of the oven and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool, slice and serve at room temperature.

ONION AND OLIVE PIE



Onion and Olive Pie image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 pound unsalted butter, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water
2 tablespoons sweet butter
3 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 anchovy fillets
1 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and halved

Steps:

  • To make the crust, use fingertips to quickly work the flour into the butter until the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Add the salt. Beat the egg yolk into the ice water. Form a well in the flour and butter mixture, pour in the liquid and, using the heel of the hand, work the liquid into the flour mixture until the dough can be shaped into a ball. Wrap in plastic. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Make the filling by melting the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions are light brown, about 15 minutes. Adjust the flame to avoid burning. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and place in a large pie or tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and crimp the edges.
  • Arrange the anchovies in a starburst pattern from the center of the pie. Sprinkle on half of the black olives. Layer in half of the onions, then the remaining black olives and then top with the remaining onions. Bake the tart until the crust is golden and the onions are caramelized and brown, 40 to 50 minutes.

NORTHERN GREEK MUSHROOM AND ONION PIE



Northern Greek Mushroom and Onion Pie image

Use portobello mushrooms for this. They are meaty and make for a very substantial pie. You can omit the feta for a vegan version of this pie

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium or large onions, coarsely chopped
Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, preferably portobellos or a mix of wild mushrooms, portobellos and regular mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
12 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, and add salt to taste. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring from time to time, until they are very soft and beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the mushrooms, turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook until they begin to sweat and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute, and stir in the paprika. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and adjust salt, and stir in the mint, parsley, feta and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in 7 sheets of phyllo dough, placing them not quite evenly on top of one another so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the mushroom and onion mixture. Bring the overhanging edges of the phyllo in over the filling, brushing each sheet with more olive oil, then layer 5 more sheets of dough over the top, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Crimp the edges into the sides of the pan. Pierce the top of the pie in several places with a sharp knife. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Recrisp the crust, if necessary, in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes

PISSALADIERE (ONION, OLIVE, AND ANCHOVY PIZZA)



Pissaladiere (Onion, Olive, and Anchovy Pizza) image

Pissaladière is a pizza-like dish made in Southern France, around the Nice, Marseilles, Toulon and the Var District, and in the Italian region of Liguria, especially in the Province of Imperia. It can be considered a type of white pizza, as no tomatoes are used. The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic Italian pizza traditional topping consists of caramelized (almost pureed) onions, olives, garlic and anchovies. No cheese is used in France, however, in the nearby Italian town of San Remo, mozzarella is added.

Time 3h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ pounds onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon drained capers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
20 large Niçoise olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
16 anchovies anchovy fillets

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt together in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and 2 tablespoons oil. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pulse in enough water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form moist clumps. Gather dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill, at least 2 hours.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme; stir to blend. Cover and cook until onions are very tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Uncover and sauté until most liquid evaporates and onions are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in capers. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Cool completely; discard bay leaf.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface to an 11-inch round. Transfer dough to the prepared sheet. Crimp edges of dough to form a stand-up border. Spread filling evenly over dough. Arrange olives and anchovies decoratively atop filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is crisp and golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • To caramelize the onions properly, cook them over medium-low heat and stir them frequently. This will allow them to brown slowly and evenly without burning.
  • If you don't have any olives on hand, you can substitute another type of salty, briny ingredient, such as capers or anchovies.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
  • If you don't have any puff pastry dough, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead.
  • Be sure to egg wash the crust before baking so that it will be golden brown and flaky.

Conclusion:

This onion and olive pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of caramelized onions, olives, and cheese is simply irresistible. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this onion and olive pie a try.
