Anchovy Shallot Focaccia

Recipe
Anchovy and Shallot Tart is a twist on a classic Pissaladiere that makes the most of brown anchovies’ savory flavor and buttery texture. Tempered by sweet shallots fried in butter, the anchovy fillets aren’t overpoweringly salty, making for a delicious topping for pillowy dough.
