We like this as an appetizer in Monaco but you can serve as side dish. Ingredients:
1/2 lb small white onions blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds, plunged into a bowl of ice and cold water, and peeled |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 x tomato peeled, seeded, and chopped fine |
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar |
1/3 cup dried currants |
2 x thyme sprigs |
1 tbl finely chopped fresh parsley leaves |
2 cup water about |
1 x garlic clove minced and mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt |
2 tbl sugar |
toast points as an accompaniment |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan saute the onions in the oil over moderately high heat,
2. stirring, until they are browned, add the tomato, the vinegar, the currants, the thyme, the parsley, 1 cup of the water, the garlic paste, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Simmer the mixture, adding more water, 1/2 cup at a time, as the liquid evaporates, for 50 minutes, or until the onions are tender. Cook the mixture over high heat, stirring, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze and let it cool. The onion mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
4. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve it with the toast.
5. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
