Pissaladière with puff pastry
This savoury tart is a traditional speciality around Nice, on France's Cote d'Azur.
Originally, pissaladière had much in common with its Italian cousin, the pizza, but made with onions, anchovies and olives, and without tomatoes.
This is a slightly different version, more friable (with a puff-pastry base) and using tomatoes.
