Ingredients for Vegetarian Sticky Onion Pie with Fresh Thyme
- 4 medium onions
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 4 fresh bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 320 g sheet of all-butter puff pastry , (cold)
Instructions for Vegetarian Sticky Onion Pie with Fresh Thyme
- Set the oven temperature to 220°C/425°F.
- After peeling, cut the onions in half lengthwise.
- Melt the butter in a 26cm ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- After removing the thyme leaves and adding the bay, agitate the pan until it begins to bubble, and then mix in the sugar, vinegar, and 100 milliliters of water.
- With the sliced side down, place the onion halves in the pan.
Peel and halve the garlic cloves and place in the gaps, then season generously with sea salt and black pepper. - To gradually soften the onions, cover, reduce the heat to low, and steam for ten minutes. Then, take off the lid and continue cooking until the liquid begins to caramelize, stirring the pan gently every now and then to prevent sticking.
- Lay the pastry on top of the onions and press it firmly into the pan’s edges using a wooden spoon. Puff up and become golden brown after 35 minutes of baking (it will seem quite black, but don’t worry!). Put on oven mitts to shield your hands, then slowly but firmly flip out a big plate over the pan.
- Delicious with a simple salad, a cool lager, and goat’s cheese.
Advice and note
Leeks, spring onions, and shallots are all excellent ingredients for tarts; just make sure they’re soft and caramelized before adding the crust.
