Onion Tart With Leeks, Capers and Anchovy
Ingredients
- 60ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 medium onions, diced
- Salt and pepper
- 3 medium leeks, white and tender green parts, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1g chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 sheet store-bought all-butter puff pastry, thawed and rolled into a 25.5cm circle (or use any favorite pie dough recipe)
- 7g medium capers, rinsed
- 8 anchovy fillets
- 2g snipped chives or chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
- Put olive oil in a wide skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. When oil is wavy, add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
- 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 the pastry round on a rimmed parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the cooled onion mixture over the pastry, leaving a 2.5 cm border. Fold over the border and crimp.
- Sprinkle capers evenly over onion mixture. Arrange anchovy fillets on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned. Cool tart for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the chives on top and cut into wedges to serve.
