Pissalidière
Zucchini (Courgette) and Tomato Gratin, leftover

Cooking time:  70 minutes for menu       Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

           This takes time, but little effort.  Not a pizza; but another Mediterranean dish using a bread crust. Loaded with sweet onions, briny anchovies and salty dry-cured olives, this can be found in any seaside cafe.... Or on your table.  Get good quality anchovies for this.  You don't need many to pack a lot of flavor - and good ones bear no resemblance to the cheap ones all too often available on pizzas or salads.

Pissalidière

Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
    In the traditional Pissalidière, there are lots and lots of very slow-cooked onions, anchovies and wrinkly oil-cured black olives - with pits.  If you really hate anchovies, leave them off; if you're undecided, this may convince you to like them.  The feta is not traditional, but my addition.  And I prefer to use pitted olives.  I also sped up the cooking of the onions, but, I think, with no appreciable loss of flavor.
