Did you see this recipe Deborah Geering published in her blog for Atlanta magazine? It was listed as “Vidalia Onion and Tasso Tart”. I’ve adapted just a smidge. Her notes:
“Taqueria del Sol chef David Waller shares this seasonal recipe featuring Georgia Vidalia onions and tasso, a smoked, cured pork product popular in Cajun cooking. Serve the tart for brunch or a light supper with a green salad. Note that the tart’s crust must be prepared in advance. Lard gives the crust’s dough a flaky texture. If you prefer, you may substitute solid vegetable shortening, butter, or a combination of both.”
Now the onions in our box aren’t Vidalias, but they are sweet onions so they’ll work perfectly here. Easy enough to substitute whatever ham you can get for the tasso. Or eliminate it. Or use bacon …. or Riverview sausage ….. or …….
