Pissaladière

Pissaladière (UK: /ˌpɪsælædˈjɛər/, US: /ˌpsɑːlɑːdˈjɛər/,[2][3] French: [pisaladjɛʁ]; Niçard: pissaladiera [pisalaˈdjeɾɔ] or pissaladina [pisalaˈdinɔ]; Ligurian: piscialandrea [piʃalaŋˈdɾeːa]) is a culinary specialty originating from Liguria (particularly Genoa),[4][5][6][7] now also typical in southeastern France. It is often compared to pizza. The word Pissalandrea comes from the Italian terminology Pizza all’Andrea, or Pizza d'Andrea.[8] It is considered to be the Genoa pizza. The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic pizza Margherita, and the traditional topping usually consists of caramelised (almost pureed) onions, black olives, and anchovies (whole, and sometimes also with pissalat, a type of anchovy paste).[9] This dish subsequently spread to the whole of geographic and ethno-cultural Liguria, that is to say between the rivers of Magra and Var. After the annexation of the County of Nice to France, the Nice cuisine will be falsely attached to the French cuisine, trying to pass many Ligurian dishes under the French label.

Etymology

The etymology of the word seems to originate from the Latin piscis "fish",[10] which in turn originated pissalat, the name of an anchovy paste[9] (via peis salat, "salted fish" in older Ligurian and Niçard).[11]

Description

The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic pizza margherita, and the traditional topping usually consists of caramelised (almost pureed) onions, black olives, and anchovies (whole, and sometimes also with pissalat).[9]
