Onion pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. The main feature of this pie is its filling, which is very tender, aromatic, and delicious. The filling makes up the majority of the pie, while the dough serves merely as a base. You can slightly vary the spices and dried herbs added to the filling, for example, by adding some basil or red pepper. Note that the onions need to be simmered for about 40–60 minutes and then thoroughly cooled. Serve with tea or coffee.
