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

In a large saucepan saute the onions in the oil over moderately high heat,

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.

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.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve it with the toast.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
