Leek, Green Olive and Sultana Pissaladière

Recipe Description

This Leek, Green Olive and Sultana Pissaladière is a delicious combination of sweet and savory. I first came across pissaladière when I was on vacation in Nice. This southern French dish is like an Italian pizza but the dough is usually thicker. This is a fantastic version which combines leeks, green olives and sultanas.

Start by making dough. As the dough rises, sauté leeks slowly over low heat. Once soft, season with salt and pepper and stir in 3 tablespoons of sultanas. Knead the dough and roll it out and shape it into a large rectangle. Top with Parmesan cheese, the cooked leek mixture, olives and bay leaves. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and bake in the oven. Serve warm.
