Halved and pitted

12 Anchovy fillets

Salt and pepper (fresh

Ground) to taste.

Crust:

cut the butter into the flour, and work with your fingers until it

looks like corn meal (note if you have a warm kitchen, it will make a

smooth dough. Do not a dd more flour). Add the salt, and mix. Beat

the egg yolk into the ice water, and add to a well in the center of

the flour. Work with the heel of your hand un til smooth. Shapte

into a ball, wrap in plastic, and place in teh refrigerator for one

hour.

Filling:

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and add teh

onions. Stir continually until soft and lightly browned (about 15

minutes), keeping the heat low so they don't burn. Remove from heat,

and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the dough from the fridge, and roll out to make a thick (1/4")

crust. Place the Anchovy fillets in a star shaped pattern along the

1/2 the olives. Add

1/2 the onions, followed

by the rest of the olives, and then the rest of the onions. The pie

is open on top, so don't cover.

375 degree oven, and bake for 40 minutes to an hour, until

the crust is lightly browned, and the onions are brown.

Notes: I don't know what this tastes like, since it got eaten before

I got through the line.
