Onion Tarte Tatin

Onion Tarte Tatin (One Serving)

Ingredients:
  • 1 Vidalia onion
  • 50 grams of Drake's Farmstead goat cheese
  • 1 pie crust
  • Clarified Butter
  • Salt to taste
Equipment:
  • 5 inch Lodge Cast Iron pan
Instructions:
  1. Cut a vidalia onion in half horizontally from the root end towards the tip.
  2. Cut wedges about an inch thick using the center of the onion as the reference point – it is important to leave a small amount of the core attached so the layers remain in place.
  3. Remove the initial-middle core layers (about 3-5 depending on the onion) to ensure that the onions can be stacked back-to-back as closely as possible ensuring a consistent size through out
  4. Carefully cut off as much of the center core off without removing it entirely to allow the wedges to remain attached through the cooking process
  5. Heat a cast iron pan to a medium temperature and add enough clarified butter to the pan to melt and yield about half an inch of melted fat. Season the bottom of the pan lightly with kosher salt
  6. Carefully begin to place the onions back to back, packing as closely as possible with the core end in the center of the pan. Repeat until the pan is filled with the onion
  7. Gently bring the cast iron pans up to a medium-hot temperature on the stove top initiating a deep-golden-caramelized color (About 5-7 minutes)
  8. Place the pans in a 350 F dry oven (0% humidity) uncovered for 8 minutes
  9. Remove from oven and place a piece of aluminum foil over the pan tightly and set back in oven for another 8 minutes
  10. Remove from oven and verify that the onions are fully cooked – they should be fully cooked but still hold their shape. To test – poke with a cake tester and if necessary, cook another 5 minutes until the cake tester goes in without too much effort.
  11. To finish: crumble goat's cheese evenly over the top of the onion and place a docked pie crust/pate brisee shell on top pressing down lightly to ensure its making contact with the onion & cheese (the crust must be docked very well to ensure that the pastry does not puff too much)
  12. Place in a 400F oven (dry heat/0% humidity) for 12 minutes
  13. Verify that the pastry is cooked through – add another 2 minutes if the pastry is not cooked through
  14. Being very, very careful, place a sheet pan over the cast iron pan and invert in once swift and smooth motion to release the tarte from the cast iron
  15. Brush gently with clarified butter and sprinkle thyme leaves over the top and serve immediately
Notes:
  • The onion must be cut correctly ensuring to leave a little bit of the core attached – just enough to hold the wedges together during the cooking process.
  • The onion needs to be caramelized and cooked but not overcooked or too dark.
