Variations%20on%20Pissaladiere
Close your eyes and take a whiff of the thyme-scented wonder called pissaladiere. Bite into this classic onion-and-anchovy tart and you’ll swear you’re at a bougainvillea-shaded table on a sidewalk in Nice. Street vendors throughout the Riviera region bake the pizza-like pie on huge trays and sell individual portions from sidewalk stalls. You can create your own by adding one or more of these ingredients. Pizza dough can be homemade or bought at your favorite local pizzeria.
