alphakitty Posted December 21, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Do you mean the Valida Onion Tart recipe? If so, here it is....thanks to Sue L. Royal Caribbean International Vidalia Onion Tart with Red Pepper Coulis Garnish October 2006 PIE 1 pie crust purchased or 1 cup all purpose flour ½ tsp. salt ¼ cup shortening at room temperature 3 Tablespoons water 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 cup julienned Vidalia onions (2-3 onions) 1 Tablespoon chopped thyme Salt and freshly ground pepper FILING ½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese 3 eggs 1/3 cup heavy cream 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley 1 Tablespoon chopped chives ½ tsp. ground nutmeg Salt and freshly ground pepper RED PEPPER COULIS 4 red bell peppers 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper GARNISH 1 medium Vidalia onion 1/3 cup vegetable oil Fresh chervil Preheat oven to 350 degrees In a medium bowl, with a fork, lightly stir together flour and salt. With fork, cut shortening into flour until the mixture resembles crumbs. Sprinkle cold water one teaspoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork after each addition, until pastry begins to hold together. With your hands, shape into a ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry in 1/8 inch thick circle about 2 inches larger than pie mold. Roll pastry circle gently onto rolling pin. Transfer to pie mold and unroll. With a sharp knife, trim edges, pinch to form a high ridge and make a decorative edge by pressing with a fork. Prick pie crust with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Refrigerate for ½ hour. Blind bake pie crust for 7 minutes, remove from oven and let cool. While pie crust is baking, warm olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat, and sauté onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper. Spread onions evenly in pie crust. Sprinkle with cheese. In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly; add cream, fresh herbs and seasonings. Beat until well mixed. Pour mixture over cheese and onions. Bake for 40 minutes. For coulis, blanch peppers in boiling water. Cool in ice water, and remove skins. In a blender, puree the peppers and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. For garnish, in a small skillet over high heat, warm oil and deep fry onion until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Serve slices of tart on warmed plates, top with fried onions and garnish with spoons of pepper coulis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontheopenseas Posted February 4, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2008 OK, I may be about to ask a ridiculous question, but is it possible to order the Vidalia Onion Tart without onions:o ? I keep reading about how wonderful it is and it does sound delicious except for one thing, I HATE onions! The cheese and pastry part sound great though:D. After looking over the recipe it does seem that it may be possible to get it without onions. Has anyone ever ordered it without onions:o:) ?

Yvie Posted February 4, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I don't think it is possible to order this without onions. The sauteed onions are cooked in the filling. Any onion garnish could be left off however. When serving that many guests, a lot of the dinner prep and some precooking is done earlier in the day. You could try putting in a request for a "gruyere cheese tart" at least a day before and see if they would honor your special request - it doesn't hurt to ask.

I suspect they arrive premade and then are baked. You really are missing out as it is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
