Pichade
Pichade is a delightful culinary treasure from the picturesque town of Menton, nestled in the sun-kissed French Riviera. This savory dish resembles a pizza, featuring a golden, crispy crust topped with sweet, caramelized onions, salty anchovies, and briny black olives. The combination of flavors evokes the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, making it a perfect appetizer or light main course to be enjoyed al fresco with a glass of chilled rosé. Traditionally prepared by local families, Pichade is a celebration of simple, quality ingredients that come together to create a dish that is both rustic and elegant.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Pizza dough
 - 1 pound, store-bought or homemade
 - Olive oil
 - 3 tablespoons
 - Onions
 - 2 large, thinly sliced
 - Anchovies
 - 6-8, packed in oil
 - Black olives
 - 1/2 cup, pitted and sliced
 - Salt
 - to taste
 - Pepper
 - to taste
 
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, about 1/4 inch for a crispy crust.
 - In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become soft, translucent, and golden brown. Remove from heat.
 - Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
 - Arrange the anchovies evenly on top of the onions, followed by the sliced black olives.
 - Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
 - Transfer the prepared Pichade to a baking sheet or a pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly.
 - Once baked, allow the Pichade to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
