Pissaldiere, also known as Caramelized Onion Tart from Provence, is a traditional French dish that originated from Nice. The name is derived from the word 'pissalat', which means 'salted fish'. The tart is made with sweet caramelized onions, salty anchovies, and stoned black olives, all placed on top of a crisp pizza dough or puff pastry. This dish is often served as an appetizer or a light meal and is great both hot and cold. Its sweet and savory taste makes it a crowd-pleaser for any social gathering.
