Best Onion And Olive Pie Recipes

ONION AND OLIVE PIE

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.

OLIVE, ANCHOVY AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt and basil leaves. Mix in the butter, olive oil and water until it becomes a smooth dough. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8 inch pie plate. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the dish until it is about 1/4 inch or 1/2 centimeter thick. Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until just starting to brown.
• Make a layer of mushrooms and onion in the bottom of the pie crust. Top with a layer of tomatoes, olives and anchovies. Dot with goat cheese.
• Return to the preheated oven, and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
