Prep time 60 min
Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tbsp vinegar
This delicious onion tart brings together the sweetness of caramelized red onions, the sharpness of parmesan cheese, and the aromatic touch of fresh thyme. It's a perfect appetizer or a light meal that combines simple ingredients into a sophisticated and tasty dish.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and grated parmesan cheese.
- Gradually add the olive oil while mixing until the dough comes together. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a small amount of cold water, a teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Use your fingers to smooth it out.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork several times to prevent it from bubbling up during baking.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- While the crust is baking, peel and thinly slice the red onions. Cut the red pepper into thin strips.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the sliced onions and red peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onion mixture and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh thyme and vinegar, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Spread the caramelized onion and pepper mixture evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.
5. Bake the Tart:
- Return the assembled tart to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden and the filling is set.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use cold olive oil to make the dough for a flakier texture.
- Slice the onions and red pepper thinly for even cooking.
- Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a tart pan with a removable bottom for easier serving.
- Let the tart cool slightly before cutting to ensure clean slices.
In just a few steps, you've created a beautiful and flavorful onion tart that is sure to impress. This dish is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delight for the taste buds, combining savory and sweet flavors that make it a standout option for any meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
