Clean Eating Pissaladiere With Spinach Recipes

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• For the topping, heat the olive oil in a very large saute pan and cook the onions, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic over low heat for 45 minutes, until the onions are sweet and cooked but not browned. Toss the onions from time to time. After 30 minutes, take out the garlic, chop it roughly, and add it back to the onions.
• Meanwhile, for the dough, combine the water, yeast, honey, and olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. (If the bowl is cold, start with warmer water so it's at least 100 degrees F when you add the yeast.) Add 3 cups of the flour, then the salt, and mix on medium-low speed. While mixing, add 1 more cup of flour, or just enough to make a soft dough. Mix the dough on medium-low speed for about 10 minutes, until smooth, sprinkling it with flour to keep it from sticking to the bowl. When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it by hand a dozen times. It should be smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it to cover lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, rolling each 1 into a smooth ball. If you're only making 1 pissaladiere, place 1 ball on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with a damp towel. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. (If you're not using the other dough, wrap it well and refrigerate or freeze it for the next time.) Roll the dough lightly with a rolling pin, then stretch it to a 10 by 15-inch rectangle and place it on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Spoon the onion topping onto the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border all around. Artfully arrange the anchovies and olives on top, brush the edge of the dough with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp. Serve hot on a cutting board.

PISSALADIèRE

Steps:

• Tip the flour, salt and yeast into a bowl. Pour in the water, spoon in the oil and mix to a soft dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
• Return the dough to the bowl, cover with cling film or a damp tea towel and leave it to rise for 45 minutes to 1¼ hours or until the dough springs back when pressed. Don't worry too much is it takes more or less time - it's not critical for this relaxed recipe.
• While the dough is rising, heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or sauté pan, throw in the onions and fry gently for about 10 minutes until softened but not browned, stirring from time to time.
• Sprinkle in the thyme and some salt and pepper, then tip in the tomatoes and stir well. Cover and cook gently for 45 minutes until the onions are meltingly soft, stirring occasionally and removing the lid for the last 10 minutes to reduce any liquid. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C. Lightly oil a shallow 23x33cm baking tin or tray. Knead the dough again briefly, then roll it out and press it into the tin. Don't leave it to rise again.
• Spread the onion mixture over the dough, then arrange the anchovies on top, making a criss-cross pattern. Stud each window between the anchovies with an olive, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm, cold or reheated, cut into squares.

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• Lightly oil a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet, and set aside. Roll out dough to a 17-by-12-inch rectangle, and fit into sheet, folding up the edges slightly to form a small lip. Prick dough all over with a fork. Cover with oiled plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with a rack in the center. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add thyme and parsley; set aside to cool.
• Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds with a melon baller or small spoon. Slice tomato halves lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips; distribute evenly over dough. Arrange onions on top, then add anchovies in a decorative pattern to form X-shapes. Dot with olives. Bake 12 minutes. Rotate sheet, and continue baking until crust is golden, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven; using a large spatula, transfer to a cutting board. Slice into pieces, and serve warm or at room temperature. Although Pissaladiere is best eaten the day it is baked, it can be reheated the next day; place in an oven heated to 200 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until heated through.

PISSALADIERE II

Steps:

• Roll out pastry dough and line a 9-inch pie pan with it.
• Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender and lightly golden.
• Add the basil and salt.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Thoroughly mix the eggs, milk, mustard and flour and set aside.
• Combine the 2 cheeses.
• Sprinkle 1/2 the cheese into the pie shell.
• Spread the sauteed onions over the cheese.
• Scatter on the olives.
• Pour the egg-milk mixture into the pie.
• Cover with remaining cheese and arrange the tomato slices on top.
• Bake 40-45 minutes or until set.

PISSALADIERE WITH ONION, HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the goat cheese into the freezer for 15 mins to make it easier to slice.
• Add the oil and the onions to a frying pan and fry for a couple of mins over a high heat. Lower the heat and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic and peppers to the pan, season with salt and pepper, cover again and soften over a low heat for a further 20 mins until completely soft.
• In crease the heat, remove the lid and fry for about 5 mins until lightly golden. Stir in the vinegar and thyme. Set aside to cool. Heat the oven to 425F and slide in a baking sheet to get hot.
• To make the base, put the flour, butter, parmesan and mustard powder into a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and whiz until crumbs form. Add the water and whiz again until it comes together to form a dough.
• Roll out on a floured piece of non stick baking parchment to a diameter of 11in round. Flute the edge and prick the base with a fork.
• Spoon the onion mixture onto the base and spread to within ¾ in of the edge. Arrange the tomatoes and olives on top.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and slide the parchment and tart onto it. Return it to the oven and bake for 20-25 mins until the pastry is lightly golden and the base is crisp. Remove the goat cheese from the freezer and cut into 6 slices.
• Take the base out of the oven and arrange the cheese on top of the tomatoes. Return to the oven for 5-8 mins or until the cheese has melted. Scatter with parsley and serve hot.
