Pissaladiere – French onion pie with anchovies | Easy recipe with step-by-step photos BayevsKitchen

anchovies

🥗Healthier: smoked salmon

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Smoked salmon provides a similar umami flavor while being more accessible.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: kalamata olives

Green olives offer a lighter flavor and are often less expensive.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat dough increases fiber content while homemade options can save costs.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie alternative that adds a cheesy flavor.

Mix the flour, yeast, and salt and stir. Make a well in the center, pour in water and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Knead the dough with a spoon, then transfer to a work surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth.

Grease a mold or baking pan with olive oil. Place the dough in the mold and with your fingers spread the dough over the mold from the center to the edges. The dough should be about 1 cm thick. Cover with clingfilm (or a towel) and leave at room temperature for an hour.

Slice the onion into half rings just under 1 cm thick.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of neutral vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Salt and pepper with freshly ground black pepper and stir.

Add butter, oregano and thyme and stir until butter is completely melted and covers all onions.

Reduce heat to low and cook stirring occasionally (every 1-2 minutes) for 20-30 minutes. Until onions are caramelized. Make sure the onions don't burn.

Preheat the oven to 240 °C / 465 °F , on high and low.

Take the anchovies out of the can and cut the fillets in half lengthwise.

Spread the stewed onions on the pastry and flatten. Mesh the anchovies on top. Put an olive in the center of the lozenge.

Bake in the oven until golden bread crust, about 20-25 minutes.
