ONION TART WITH LEEKS, CAPERS AND ANCHOVY
Though this tart may seem complicated, it's actually rather simple to put together. Once you make the savory onion mixture, all that's left to do is spread it on a sheet of rolled-out puff pastry, top it with anchovy fillets and capers, and bake it to a golden brown. Use any kind of flaky pastry or pie dough you wish, or even spread the mixture on yeasted pizza dough. Accompany with a salad of small lettuce greens if desired. The tart is delicious served warm or at room temperature.

- Add leeks, garlic and thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes, until leeks are softened but still bright green. Taste and adjust seasoning, then spread mixture on a baking sheet to cool to room temperature.
- Lay pastry round on a rimmed parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread cooled onion mixture over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold over the border and crimp.
- Sprinkle capers evenly over onion mixture. Arrange anchovy fillets on top.

This rectangular tart is like a pizza but easier. Instead of a yeast dough, the base is a crisp pastry made with olive oil. The recipe makes enough dough for 2 tarts.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Put flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Drizzle in 1/4 cup oil, egg and 1/4 cup cold water, then mix quickly with hands to make a soft dough. If dough seems dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form dough into a rough rectangle, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a flour-dusted surface, divide dough in half. Roll out one piece to a rectangle approximately 9 by 12 inches (reserve other piece for future use, or to make a second tart).
- Stir 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic together in a small bowl. Put rolled dough on lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle surface of dough with garlic oil. Scatter onion slices over dough. Arrange tomato slices over dough in one layer without crowding, then season with salt and pepper. Top tomatoes with torn mozzarella slices in one layer. Tuck olives and capers here and there, if using. Drape top of tart with intermittently placed anchovy fillets.
- Bake for 6 minutes on bottom shelf of oven, then transfer to top shelf and bake for another 6 minutes or until nicely browned. Let cool slightly, then cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TOMATO TART WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, OLIVES & FONTINA
Yield 1 tart
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- 1 - Caramelize the onions. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a wide sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, season with a ½ tsp. kosher salt, and cook until dark and sweet, about 45 minutes, stirring periodically. When they are thoroughly caramelized, season with a few twists of black pepper, and allow to cool to room temperature before filling the tart shell. 2 - Preheat the oven to 425°. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it to cook the tart on (this helps ensure a crisp bottom). 3 - Fill the tart shell. Sprinkle the chilled shell with about â of the grated fontina. Spread the onions over the cheese and top with another â of the cheese. Layer the tomato slices, shingling slightly, as needed. Sprinkle the tomatoes with a little oregano and black pepper. Top with remaining cheese, olives, and anchovies. 4 - Bake the tart on the hot pizza stone for 45-55 minutes, until the crust is golden and cooked through and the tomatoes are soft and tender. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving so the slices will hold together.
CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO TART
One of these days Michele and I will travel to the south of France, where we'll eat this amazing tomato tart at least once a day. It's going to be hot, since we'll have to go in the middle of summer to enjoy best possible tomatoes, but that's fine, as long as there's chilled rosé. One layer of tomato is plenty, since more than that will make for an overly wet tart, which means your pastry will not stay crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
- Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
- Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.
