Pissaladiere (Pissaladiera)

Basic recipe: Tomato Sauce

Pissala is a thick salty paste made of anchovies and sardines with aromatics. Outside the Nice area, anchovies are used instead as a piquant relish for what is basically a hefty onion tart. Tomato is often used to lighten the flavour as well. The basic dough can be a bread dough or shortcrust pastry.
