Method

1. Peel and thinly slice the onions. Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Melt 50g butter into a large pan on a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for 30 mins, stirring every so often, till the onions are very soft. When cooked, take the pan off the heat and let the onions cool slightly.

2. Warm your oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 5. Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle, then lay it on a large baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Spread the onions over the pastry, leaving a bit of a gap at the edges.

3. Drain the anchovies and arrange them in a crisscross pattern over the onions. Squash the stones out of the olives and scatter them over the top, along with the thyme leaves. Season with a few cracks of black pepper and and slide the tart into the oven. Bake for 25-30 mins, till the pastry is crisp and golden brown.

4. Let the tart cool slightly before cutting. Serve it in wedges with your favourite fresh green salad on the side.
