Preparation method

Preparing the shortcrust pastry

1

In a large bowl, sift the white wheat flour and add the cold diced butter along with a pinch of salt. Rub quickly with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture, then pour in 2-3 tablespoons of ice-cold water and bring the dough together into a compact ball. Wrap it in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a round sheet about 4 mm thick. Place the sheet into a round tart pan lined with baking paper, prick the base here and there with a fork, and place the pan in the oven preheated to 180°C for 10 minutes to blind bake lightly.

Caramelizing the onions and assembling

1

While the dough is resting, peel the red onions and slice them thinly. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onions over low to medium heat for 15 minutes, adding a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and thyme, until soft, translucent, and nicely caramelized.

Chef's tip

For an extremely tender and crisp crust, always use very cold butter, straight from the fridge, and do not overwork the dough.

If you'd like an extra crunchy touch, you can sprinkle some lightly toasted walnuts on top just before serving.
