ALSATIAN ONION TART
This classic French regional tart of good Gruyère and "melted" onions, bound with a savory custard, is one of my favorites. For an interesting variation, brush the prebaked tart shell with a thin layer of Dijon mustard, or add 1 Tbs. of finely minced tarragon to the custard. Be sure to buy the best quality Gruyère.

Steps:
- Heat the oil and butter in a cast-iron or other heavy-based 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add the onions and sugar, season with salt and pepper, and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Lower the heat and continue to cook the onions until very soft and evenly browned, stirring frequently, another 30 to 40 minutes; you may need to add a little more oil. When the onions are done, transfer them to a strainer and drain.
- Heat the oven to 375°F. If using a tart pan with a removable bottom, put it on a baking sheet. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cream. Season with 3/4 tsp. salt, a scant 1/2 tsp. pepper, and the nutmeg. Add the drained onions and half of the cheese and blend thoroughly. Fill the prepared tart shell with the onions and custard. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until the tip of a knife comes out clean and the top of the tart is puffed and brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

ALSATIAN ONION TART
A crisp buttery crust, melty caramelized onions and a savory custard makes the Alsatian Onion Tart a staple of French cooking. This rustic tart tastes rich, satisfying and brings a unique combination of sweet and salty flavors, with the sweet caramelized onions bound by a cheese and egg filling. My version of an Alsatian Onion Tart The Alsatian Onion Tart is lesser known than the Quiche Lorraine - hailing from the same French region - but is no less delicious. As with most regional recipes, there isn't just one recipe...

Steps:
- Step 1: make the crust - Mix the flour, salt and butter with your fingers or pulse in a food processor, until you get a crumbly consistency and pea-size bits of butter are still visible. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough roughly comes together into a ball; do not overmix. Add a few more splashes of water if you feel the dough is too crumbly/dry. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) with a rack in the middle.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch (22.9 cm) tart pan. Transfer the dough onto a floured working surface and roll it out to a 12-inch (31cm) circle. Transfer the crust to the tart pan. Cut any excess crust that hangs over the edges and crimp the edges (optional). Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Line the top of the crust with foil or parchment paper and place pie weights or dried beans over top, to keep the pie crust from puffing when baking.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment paper filled with weights and set the crust aside. Leave your oven on at 350°F (180°C).
- Step 2 : Caramelize the onions - Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. When the butter is sizzling, add the onions slices and stir to coat with the butter. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, spread the onions evenly onto the pan. Let the onions cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. The trick is to let the onions brown - so do not stir too often. But you don't want to let them burn either.
- After 15 minutes, when the onions should start to dry out, add salt and the beef stock. Stir to coat and continue cooking for about 15 more minutes, until the onions are melty and golden. Set aside.
- Step 3: Make the filling - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and the heavy cream. Add the black pepper and grated cheese. Adjust more seasoning if needed (salt, pepper).
- Step 4: Assemble the tart - Scatter the caramelized onions evenly onto the bottom of the pre-baked crust. Pour the prepared liquid filling over top. Sprinkle evenly with the caraway seeds.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the crust starts to become golden - the middle will be slightly wobbly and puffy, and will firm up and deflate as it cools down. Transfer onto a cooling rack and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.

ALSACE ONION TART
For decades, the restaurant Lutèce-with chef André Soltner behind the stove-was the pinnacle of French cuisine in New York City. Soltner's Alsace onion tart, one of the best we've ever tasted, was the inspiration for this version.

Steps:
- Make pastry:
- Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 4 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
- Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
- Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion. Gather dough together with pastry scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 14-inch round and fit into tart pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang over pastry and press against side to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom with a fork and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line chilled shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is set and pale golden along rim, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer shell to a rack. (Leave oven on.)
- Prepare filling while shell bakes:
- Cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain and pour off bacon fat. Add butter to skillet and cook onions with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper over moderate heat, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Cover surface of onions with a round of parchment or wax paper (or cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid) and continue to cook, lifting parchment to stir frequently, until onions are very soft and pale golden, about 20 minutes. Stir in bacon, then remove from heat and cool 10 minutes.
- Whisk together crème fraîche, eggs, nutmeg, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then stir in onions.
- Fill and bake tart:
- Pour filling into tart shell, spreading onions evenly, and bake until filling is set and top is golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
CARAMELIZED ONION PASTA
All you need for this tasty dinner is a bag of onions, garlic, some dried pasta, and cheese. Caramelizing sliced onions in a little butter and olive oil makes them become sweet and yielding, almost luscious. Pasta water and Parmesan do double duty, adding salt and depth while the creamy sauce forms.

Steps:
- Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Stop before the onions become dry and shriveled.) Add red pepper flakes (if using) and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Remove pot from heat.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
- Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to onion mixture and stir to combine. Add a small handful of cheese and stir until melted. Repeat with remaining cheese, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Stir in parsley (if using).
- Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.
