  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp bread machine yeast

For the caramelized onions:

Instructies

  • To make the crust: In a medium-size bowl, combine the sweet potato purĂ©e, water, oil, and agave nectar.
  • In a large-size bowl, combine the flours, sage, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and yeast.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and pliable, adding more flour if the dough is too wet.
  • Shape into a ball.
  • Lightly coat a large-size bowl with oil, add the dough, and turn to coat.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, 60 to 90 minutes.
  • To make the onions: In a large-size, shallow saucepan, combine the peanut oil, onions, shallots, garlic, and salt.
  • Cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and brown.
  • Set aside.
  • To make the sprinkles: Place all the sprinkle ingredients in a coffee grinder or food processor.
  • Blend until pulverized into a fine powder.
  • Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Punch down the dough, and roll it into a 20 Ă— 25-cm (8 Ă— 10-inch) rectangle directly on a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat.
  • Sprinkle the caramelized onions on top of the dough, followed by the sprinkles, to taste.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown.
  • Serve with a nice mixed green salad.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Serving Tip:
This impressive tart is perfect on its own as a main course, but it pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette. It also makes for a beautiful centerpiece at your next holiday meal!
Wine Advice:
The rich, savory-sweet flavors of this tart call for a wine that can both stand up to its complexity and complement its elegance. A light, dry white wine like an unoaked Chardonnay from California or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from France will be a wonderful match. Their bright acidity will cut through the richness of the caramelized onions, while their subtle fruitiness will harmonize with the sweet potato and sage.
