Onion Anchovy Galette

This savoury onion and anchovy galette is a sophisticated take on rustic French baking. Featuring a crisp, buttery pastry base topped with slowly caramelised onions and a rich umami paste, it offers a wonderful balance of sweetness and salt. The addition of anchovies and tomato paste provides a Mediterranean depth that perfectly complements the golden, softened onions. It is a visually impressive dish that remains effortlessly simple to assemble, making it ideal for a weekend lunch.

Served warm or at room temperature, this tart is a versatile addition to your recipe collection. It works beautifully as a vegetarian-style main dish for those who include fish in their diet, or sliced into smaller wedges as a dinner party starter. Pair it with a crisp green salad and a light vinaigrette to cut through the richness of the pastry for a perfectly balanced meal.

Ingredients for Onion Anchovy Galette

  • 160g plain flour

  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • 3 to 5 tablespoons ice water

  • 2 large onions (900g total), sliced

  • 2 cucchiai di olio d'oliva

  • 2 cucchiai di burro non salato

  • 5 to 6 anchovy fillets

  • 1 garlic clove

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled

Blend together flour, butter, 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 roughly pea-size butter lumps.

Drizzle 45ml ice water evenly over mixture 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 tablespoons at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture or pastry will be tough.)

Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together, with a pastry or bench scraper if you have one, and press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.

Cook onions in oil and butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 191°C with rack in middle.

Finely chop anchovies and garlic together. Stir together with tomato paste and thyme.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Transfer to a parchment-lined large baking sheet.

Spread tomato-anchovy mixture over dough, leaving a 2-inch border along edge, then arrange onions on top. Fold edges of dough inward. Bake until pastry is golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
