How To make Onion Tart
PAStrY:
200 g Plain flour
130 g Unsalted butter, softened
3 tb Water
1 Egg
1 ds Salt
FILLING:
400 g Onions
30 g Bacon, cut into thin strips
50 g Unsalted butter
3 1/2 dl Cream
3 1/2 dl Milk
4 Eggs
1 ds Gratted nutmeg
1 tb Chopped parsley
Salt and pepper Pastry Make the flour into a 'well' on the pastry board, beat the egg and add it, with the butter, salt and a little of the water, to the centre of the well, then work the ingredients into the flour with your fingertips, incorporating more water little by little; whether you have to use all the water or not depends on the quality of the flour. Press all the dough together into a ball then, finally, work it thoroughly with the heel of your hand, gathering it up with pastry scraper as you do so until it is soft and pliable. Leave it in the refrigerator to firm up again before you roll it out. Filling Peel the onions. Cut them into fine rings and weigh out 300 g. Cook the bacon strips (which need to be VERY finely cut) in the butter. Let them take on a golden colour, then add the sliced onions and leave them to cook gently until they are tender. In a bowl beat together the cream, milk and eggs, adding salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. When the onions are cooked, add them to the mixture in the bowl and add the chopped parsley. Preparation Roll out the dough 2mm thick and use it to line a buttered tart tin 26 cm in diameter and at least 3cm deep. Cut a disc of aluminium foil of the same diameter as the tin and place it on the pastry. Weight it down with a handful of beans or crusts. Pre-heat the oven to 150 oC (300 oF) and cook the pastry 'blind' for half an hour. Watch the coulouring of the edge and as soon as it starts to turn golden remove the aluminium foil and beans or crusts. Cook the pastry shell until the base is baked but not coloured. Fill the shell with the onion mixture. Put the tart back into the oven. Check that the temperature is still 150 oC and keep the oven at or just below this temperature for about 1 hour. Towards the end you could reduce the heat a little, as the tart needs TO COOK VERY SLOWLY. The tart is ready if, when you shake it, the filling appears to be quite firm with no hint of a whole in the centre. Serve warm, in small slices ! (From: Fredy Girardet, Cuisine spontanee)

------------------------------
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds yellow onion (about 2-3 large onions)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 6 ounces dried figs, sliced into pieces
- 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons fig preserves
- 6 ounces blue cheese
------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS
TO PREPARE THE CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat.
Cut the ends off the onions and slice in half, end to end. Slice each half thinly to approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Add the onions to the melted butter and continue to cook over medium-low to low heat. Heating too high will brown or burn the onions without caramelizing. Slowly cook the onions, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and brown. Continue to cook until the onions are evenly light brown and just begin to stick on the skillet, 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the vinegar, salt and pepper.
Cool and chill until ready to assemble. Or cool to room temperature and assemble.
TO PREPARE TART
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Thaw the puff pastry overnight in the refrigerator. Working with one sheet at a time, roll out on a floured surface to 11 x 13 inches. Place pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
With a sharp knife, make a line around the perimeter of the pastry 1/2 inch in from the edge, making sure not to cut through the pastry.
Stir together the Dijon mustard and fig preserves. Brush half of the mixture on one sheet of pastry.
Sprinkle half of the prepared onions over the pastry followed by half of the sliced figs.
Finish by crumbling half of the blue cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the pastry is puffed, 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve.
