 Categories: Polkadot, Ferd, Pies, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
      2 c  Flour
    1/2 lb Unsalted butter
    1/2 ts Salt
      1    Egg yolk
      3 tb Ice water.

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      3 lb Yellow Onions, thinly sliced
      2 tb Unsalted butter
      1 c  Oil cured black olived,
           Halved and pitted
     12    Anchovy fillets
           Salt and pepper (fresh
           Ground) to taste.
 
  Crust:

  Cut the butter into the flour, and work with your fingers until it
  looks like corn meal (note if you have a warm kitchen, it will make a
  smooth dough.  Do not add more flour).  Add the salt, and mix.  Beat
  the egg yolk into the ice water, and add to a well in the center of
  the flour. Work with the heel of your hand until smooth.  Shape
  into a ball, wrap in plastic, and place in the refrigerator for one
  hour.
  
  Filling:

  Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the
  onions. Stir continually until soft and lightly browned (about 15
  minutes), keeping the heat low so they don't burn.  Remove from heat,
  and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
  Remove the dough from the fridge, and roll out to make a thick (1/4")
  crust.  Place the anchovy fillets in a star shaped pattern along the
  bottom, then cover with 1/2 the olives.  Add 1/2 the onions, followed
  by the rest of the olives, and then the rest of the onions.  The pie
  is open on top, so don't cover.
  
  Place in a 375 degree oven, and bake for 40 minutes to an hour, until
  the crust is lightly browned, and the onions are brown.

  Notes: I don't know what this tastes like, since it got eaten before
  I got through the line.
