About

The classic pizza of Nice, essentially sautéed sweet onions with salty olives and anchovies. Sliced tomatoes are a good addition here, too, as are a few sprigs of thyme or some basil leaves.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
