Olive, Anchovy and Onion Pie Recipe

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 8 anchovy fillets, chopped
  • 8 pitted green olives, chopped
  • 6 fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt and basil leaves. Mix in the butter, olive oil and water until it becomes a smooth dough. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8 inch pie plate. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the dish until it is about 1/4 inch or 1/2 centimeter thick. Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until just starting to brown.
  3. Make a layer of mushrooms and onion in the bottom of the pie crust. Top with a layer of tomatoes, olives and anchovies. Dot with goat cheese.
  4. Return to the preheated oven, and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
