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.
