These onions are cooked and marinated in a delicious,slightly sweet sauce. They go well with any sauceless tapa. We've made this for dinner parties, cocktail parties and it's always a hit. I use a bag of frozen pearl onions and it turns out wonderfully! Goes well with grilled chicken. We usually eat them warm and I don't always cook them for the full time. Makes 4 largeish servings. Ingredients:
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 medium tomato, skinned and chopped |
1 sprig parsley |

salt |
pepper |
1/2 lb white pearl onion, not more than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, peeled |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons raisins |
1 tablespoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small skillet and saute the chopped onion and garlic until the onion is tramsparent.
2. Add the tomato, saute for a minute,
3. Add the parsley, bay leaf, 1/8 teaspoon of the basil, 1/8 teaspoon of the thyme, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons water.
