Begin by preparing the onion topping. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over a low heat and add the onions, salt, pepper and garlic. Sweat the onions for 45 minutes, tossing regularly until the onions are sweet and cooked but not browned
Line a heavy duty baking tray with baking paper and dust with flour. Lay the puff pastry onto the baking paper - if not using pre-rolled, roll it out with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of 5mm. Cut the pastry into 12cm x 14cm rectangles

Brush each piece of pastry with the olive paste and spread the onions evenly on top. Scatter over the anchovies and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes
Pierre Koffmann's cooking is undeniably refined; classical yet humble, with provincial French touches grounding the skilful elegance of the food. Taking inspiration from his Gascon roots, Pierre artfully extracts extraordinary flavour from ordinary ingredients and cuts.
