INSTRUCTIONS
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.
