    My Husband Italian grandmother use to add raisins to this pie. I am making this tomorrow for the first time. He was just thinking of this pie and asked his mom for the recipe.

    I haven't actually tried this dish yet, however, there is this dish my Nonna used to make every Christmas Eve for the Feast of Fishes called Baccala Pie. Baccala is cod, but similiar idea. As kids, my brother and I thought it was the NASTIEST thing! Pounds of sweet onions, baccala, and black olives all enveloped in a flaky homemade pie crust...similiar to a puff pastry. Now...OMG, I LOVE IT!! Funny how tastes change. Maybe you all should try doing it in a flakier, puff-pastry-ish shell...frozen or homemade if you've got a good recipe.

    I purchased a pie crust since I never make my own. We thought this was delicious!
    Easy!

    Please don't advertise this as a vegetarian dish because anchovies are not vegetarian. I would hate to go to a party and find out that I was served this dish and was lied to.

    I took this to a party and was embarrassed by the TOUGH crust. It was NOT good. The filling was tasty, but lets face it, it is just carmelized onions. Presentation was not good either. If I do carmelized onions for an appetizer, I will put them in individual phyllo dough cups.

    I also found the crust difficult with which to work and tough. My anchovies did not disolve, but I mashed them into submission.
    I like the idea of using puff pastry and will try that and/or won-ton wrappers. The idea of making enpanadas is good, too. The filling is good enough for me to keep trying to find a yummy 'container' for it.

    The crust was tough and difficult to work with, and the filling came out stringy and messy even after 90 minutes of cooking. Not good for finger food. It tasted ok to me, if a bit bland but nobody else would touch it because it looked terrible.

    I added a little more salt to the dough which may explain why mine had more flavor than some others had. I found the dough as easy to work with as any oil based pie crust is, and the filling was easy and heavenly. I took this for New Years and even though it made enough for twice the people attending the party there wasn't a crumb left at the end of the evening.

    This recipe was really easy and tasted just like my grandma's onion pie. I added a 1/4 cup of crushed tomatos, which gave it a great color and a flavor which my family loved! Thet said it was just like hers!!

    Reading the recipe, I thought it would be wonderful, but it was not. I took it for an appetizer for Thanksgiving. My appetizers are usually eaten up, but I ended bringing most of it home. Presentation was a problem, as well as the taste. Serving it was troublesome also. I tried serving it with some hot mustard, which helped a little, but ended up throwing most of it out.
