Ingredients
Onion-Thyme Tart
- Ingredients
- 4 onions (about 200 grams)
- 4 Red onions (about 200 grams)
- 8 shallots (about 200 grams)
- 3 Tbsps olive oil
- salt
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 7 ozs Spelt flour
- 7 ozs Pastry flour (type 1050)
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1 pinch sugar
- 7 ozs Quark
- 8 Tbsps
- 6 Tbsps Canola oil
- 3 Tbsps Sour cream (60 grams)
- peppers
- 1 Tbsp liquid honey
- 1 tsp hot ground paprika
Peel onions and shallots and cut into thin rings.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onions and shallots, season with salt and cook until soft, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse thyme, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop coarsely. Mix into the onion mixture, remove from heat and set aside.
Mix together both flours with the cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add the quark, milk and canola oil and beat with the dough hook of a hand mixer to form a smooth dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough on the sheet, then spread sour cream on top of dough with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Distribute the onion mixture over the dough, leaving a narrow border all around.
Drizzle honey over the onions and sprinkle with paprika. Bake on middle rack of preheated oven at 220°C (fan 200°C, gas mark 3-4) (approximately 425°F/convection 400°F) until crust is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.

Healthy, because
The special feature of this classic autumn treat is the uncomplicated dough base, which contains many vegetable omega-3 fatty acids thanks to rapeseed oil. These healthy fats help to lower elevated blood fat values. They are supported by the dietary fibres from wholemeal flour and onions.
