Apple-Onion-Gorgonzola Tart

Even though this is currently listed as a vegetable, I may change it to
medieval. As I noted I do medieval fests, and this is for one that is coming up
in a month. I had previously heard of Apple, Onion, Gorgonzola Tarts, but was
unsure of how to make one. This was my third try. The magic additions to this
were the sage butter and a good crust. It is quick to put together even though
it takes a while to bake. I got rave reviews from man, woman, and child alike.

Recipe Name:

Apple, Onion, Gorgonzola Tart
Ingredients:

crust
1/3 c lard
1/2 t salt
1 1/8 c AP flour

filling
1 red onion
1 1/2 granny smith apple
2 oz gorgonzola, crumbled
2 T butter
1 sprig sage
Steps:

crust
cut butter into flour and salt until pea sized
mix in water
roll out slightly larger than pie tin, sprinking with flour to avoid sticking
place in pan leaving excess hanging over

filling
mix butter with sage leaves, set aside
core and cut apples into thin slices, keeping 1/2 and whole separate
peel and cut onion into thin slices

layer whole apple into bottom of crust
sprinkle with 1/3rd gorgonzola
layer onion over apple
sprinkle with 1/3rd gorgonzola
layer half apple over top
sprinkle with remaining gorgonzola
crumble sage/butter mixture over top

fold excess crust over top of tart for a rustic look


bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours or until crust slightly colors.

NOTES:

crust is a slight variant from a 1950's pie manual
