CARAMELIZED ONION TART WITH MANCHEGO AND WALNUTS
Looking to serve something fabulous at your next get-together? Whether you’re entertaining in the city or up in the country, this CARAMELIZED ONION TART WITH MANCHEGO is perfect!
Tarts have long been one of my favourite things to prepare when friends and family are coming for a visit, and don’t let the looks of this CARAMELIZED ONION TART WITH MANCHEGO deceive you – like so many of our recipes, it’s easy to prepare. But be warned, those you serve it to may start expecting this level of culinary prowess every time!
Here are a few considerations:
THE PASTRY – The pastry for this tart is rich, buttery and flaky, but it’s crafted to also echo the flavour of one of its key ingredients, walnuts. Adding a teaspoon of walnut oil gives the pastry a nutty flavour and also adds a bit of moisture that compliments the sour cream.
Like all pastry recipes, this one needs to be chilled for at least forty-five minutes to an hour before using it as the foundation of the tart.
THAT RUSTIC LOOK – I’m all for fancy, especially when I have extra time to fiddle around with a recipe – just like the time we produced our SAVOURY TARTS. For this occasion though, I wanted the finished baked good to reflect a more casual approach. The pastry is rolled out, then folded over as-is, without perfect edges or fancy flourishes. I’m hoping it imparts a sense of relaxed, rustic fare.
THE ONIONS – No matter how we slice ‘em and dice ‘em, shave ‘em or chop ’em, this tart stands out thanks to the onions we used. Select an assortment of your favourites, remembering that the more variety, the better. We suggest tracking down a few of the following: Vidalia, Spanish, yellow or white onions as well as their punchy cousin, the underused shallot.
As you begin cooking them, I encourage you to take your time. In order to get that heady aroma and distinct sweetness that caramelized onions always deliver, you’ll need to cook them on moderately low heat for quite some time. Have patience – the results are worth it.
FYI – We also included garlic in the mix because, you know, we like putting garlic in pretty much anything.
FRESH HERBS – Our use of freshly chopped thyme shouldn’t be a surprise since it pairs so well with onion, but we decided to really put our favourite herbs to the test by also adding chopped sage. Carol and I both let out big, satisfied sighs when we took our first bite – this combination of herbs really brightens the sweet flavour of the caramelized onion.
We also suggest tossing chopped chives onto the tart right before you serve it. Doing so will add a boost of colour and familiar onion flavour as everyone goes to enjoy.
CHEESE – I consulted a helpful expert at the cheese store to help me face a bit of a dilemma – do we go with something tried and true like Gruyère or Emmental, or push the envelope and try something different for this tart? We ended up going with a Spanish Manchego, which is a firm cheese made from sheep’s milk. Expect a pleasing ivory-yellow colour and a creamy, piquant flavouring.
WALNUTS – I really can’t pinpoint why I chose walnuts, other than the fact that I like the way they taste. Now that we’ve tested our fair share of this tart, I can assure you that walnuts are the way to go. In fact, I’ll take this one nutty step further and declare - they are an essential ingredient in this recipe.
