No, I haven't made it but I am going to do so once I get settled after our move at the end of this month. It has an accompanying salad called Arugula salad that I will post as soon as I get this one posted. both recipes are from a restaurant in Boerne,TX called Peach Cafe. I have a few more recipes to post at some point then I will give you all a break from this ol Shirley girl!

How To Make caramelized onion tart

  • 1
    For the Pie Crust: Preheat oven to 425*F
  • 2
    In food processor, place the flourand salt in bowl.Add chilled butterand shorteningand process for 3 seconds only. Add 1/3 cup of ice water and turn on machine for 3 seconds. When the dough has just begun to mass on the blade, the pastry is done.
  • 3
    Turn pastry out onto a work surface and work it together quickly. If pastry seems too dry, sprinkle a few droplets of water over the dough. Form into 2 flat cakes, flour lightly. wrap in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
  • 4
    Roll out the dough to a round about 2 inches longer than the pan. Wrap the dough around a rolling pin and carefully unroll it over the pan, taking care not to stretch it. The dough will hang over the edge of the pan.
  • 5
    Gently lift the edge of the dough and press it into the bottom. Roll the rolling pin over the top of the pan to cut off the excess dough. Using your forefinger and thumb, press the dough up the sides of the pan from the bottom to raise the level of the dough. Prick the base with a fork.
  • 6
    Line the shell with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes or until the rim starts to brown. Remove the parchment paper and beans, reduce oven tempature to 375* and bake for 5 minutes more or until the bottom appears dry. Remove from oven and let cool.
