Name: Tomato Tart with Capers, Anchovies, and Caramelized Onions
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 6 cups thinly sliced onions (about 1 1/2 pounds); 1 tablespoon thyme leaves; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 1 sheet frozen all-butter puff pastry; 1 extra-large egg yolk; 3 medium heirloom tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), mixed colors; 3 or 4 salt-packed anchovy fillets, rinsed, bones removed; 2 teaspoons salt-packed capers, soaked and drained; 1/4 cup Niçoise olives, pitted, cut in half; 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half; 1 tablespoon finely diced shallot; 1 tablespoon super-good extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 lemon, for juicing; 1 bunch arugula, cleaned and dried; 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves; 1/4 cup small basil leaves, preferably green and opal; 1/4 cup 1/2-inch-snipped chives; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

This tart has all the boisterous Mediterranean flavors of pasta puttanesca: tomatoes, anchovies, capers, and olives layered on puff pastry and caramelized onions. Make a tapestry of red, yellow, and orange by layering different-colored heirloom tomato slices over the onions. Though I usually want to put cheese on everything, this tart doesn’t need it. The tomatoes are the stars, so let them shine.

Cooks' Note

You can caramelize the onions ahead if you like.

In this lasagna, soft layers of pasta and béchamel are interspersed with a rich tomato sauce laden with hearty Mediterranean vegetables.

Charred Vegetable Ragù

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

Brussels Sprouts Latkes

Who says latkes have to be potato? Brussels bring a delicious cruciferousness.
