Ingredients for Onion Tart:

  • 8 oz (225 g) wholemeal shortcrust pastry
  • 8 oz (225 g) onions
  • 2 oz (56 g) butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ pint (285 ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar (optional)

Method for Onion Tart:

  1. Roll out the pastry and use to line one large or six small flan dishes.  Prick the base and put in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the onions and sauté in melted butter but don’t allow them to brown.
  3. Stir in the flour and gradually add the milk.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika and sugar.
  6. Spoon out the filling into the chilled pastry cases and bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark6 (200°C/400°F) for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is crispy and the filling has puffed up.

Serves 6. Can be served hot or cold. Nice with a crisp green salad and potato salad or boiled new potatoes. You could make this onion tart using cheese pastry instead of ordinary shortcrust  – cheese and onion tend to work together well.
