Onion Tart
Onion tart is traditionally offered and eaten mainly in autumn. This pastry is particularly popular at wine festivals in the wine-growing regions and in Thuringia. These are, for example, the Palatinate, Hesse and Franconia, but also the Nahe, Baden, the Rhine and Moselle regions. The savoury cake is then offered with, for example, a Federweißen (a young wine with a low alcohol content) or Suser (apple cider).
The onion cake is a square or round sheet cake made of yeast dough with a topping of onions and caraway seeds. In the Swabian version, bacon cubes are also used.
At the Weimar onion market, one of the largest regional festivals in Thuringia, the festival even opens with the cutting of the onion cake.
Unlike the tarte flambée, the onions are not used raw here, but are steamed in butter in small pieces. Only then are they mixed with the remaining ingredients and the mixture is seasoned with cumin and salt. The caraway is supposed to improve the digestibility of this rather fatty dish.
