UPSIDE DOWN RED ONION PIE

Directions

• Step 1 Put the flour, the butter, the salt, and the water in a food processor and mix for 20 seconds. Remove the dough and make a ball. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Step 2 Pre-heat the oven to 180° if it’s a convection oven, otherwise, pre-heat up to 200°. Cover the bottom of the pie mould with wax paper and set aside. Peel the red onions and cut them into round slices. Fry them in butter in a large skillet for about 5 minutes, add salt and pepper, and turn the slices over from time to time with a spatula. Gently place them at the bottom of your pie mould side by side. Caramelize the sugar and the vinegar in the sauce pan collecting all the juices from the onions. Pour this caramelized sauce over the onions and add fresh thyme or Provence Herbs.
• Step 3 Now, using a rolling pin, spread the dough, lay it over the onions and tuck the side dough between the mould rim and the onions. Bake until the dough is cooked and golden. When done, allow 10 minutes for cool-off before turning it over. Choose a serving dish that is larger than the pie itself, place it over it, and holding it tight with your two hands on each side, quickly turn over. Remove the wax paper and serve immediately.
