This is a unique appetizer and may be mixed on a platter with other appetizers. I usually spear a couple of raisins and an onion on a toothpick. If mixed in with other veggies or hors d'oeuvres there are enough for 10-12 people. The onions should be well chilled before serving Ingredients:
60 small boiling onions, peeled, leave some root so the onion holds together |
1 1/2 cups white wine |
1/3 cup wine vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 bay leaf |
4 garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons tomato paste |
1/4 teaspoon saffron |
3/4 cup white sultana raisins |
Directions:
1. Put the onions in a saucepan with the wine, oil, vinegar, bay leaf, garlic, and salt The fluid should just cover the onions if not add a bit more wine.
2. Bring to a boil, simmer gently for 6 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, saffron and raisins.
4. Continue to simmer for 3 more minutes or until the onions are just tender and not too soft. Remove from heat and chill.
