Pissaladière | Southern French "Pizza" Niçoise | Food Wishes

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.

Cut both ends off the onions and peel the skin.

Slice the onions in half and then slice across the fibers.

Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add a pinch of salt.

Add sliced onions to the pot and stir to mix in the salt.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then uncover and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Add fresh thyme, black pepper, and cherry vinegar to the onions and cook for another 10 minutes.

Soak anchovies in cold water for about an hour to reduce saltiness, then drain and dry them.

Prepare pizza dough by placing it on oiled parchment paper and rolling it out between two layers of parchment.

Transfer the rolled dough to a sheet pan and dock the surface with a fork.

Pre-bake the crust in a 450°F oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Brush the edge of the pre-baked crust with olive oil.

Spread a generous layer of caramelized onions over the crust.

Arrange soaked anchovies in a crisscross pattern over the onions.

Place halved olives on top of the anchovies.
