Pissaladiere
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 1/2 pounds onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 rosemary sprig
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- 1 red bell pepper
- One 14-ounce package chilled all-butter puff pastry
- 16 small marinated white anchovies
- 1/4 cup pitted Nicoise olives
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add the onions, rosemary and a generous pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar and garlic and cook until the mixture is fragrant and the vinegar evaporates, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley and season with salt.
- Let cool completely.
- Discard the rosemary sprig.
- Meanwhile, roast the red pepper directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred all over.
- Transfer the pepper to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let cool, about 15 minutes.
- Peel, stem and seed the pepper, then cut into thin strips.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12-by-14-inch rectangle.
- Slide the pastry onto the parchmentlined baking sheet and poke it all over with a fork.
- Top with another sheet of parchment and a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned.
- Remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper and bake the pastry for 15 minutes longer, until slightly puffed and browned.
- Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Spread the cooled onions evenly over the pastry, then top with the roasted pepper strips, anchovies and olives.
- Cut into squares and serve.
