Sweet-and-Sour Onions

• 1 pound little pickling onions or shallots
• 34 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons golden raisins
• Salt and pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried mint (optional)

1. Peel the onions (one way is to plunge them for a few seconds in boiling water until the skins come off easily).
2. Put them in a pan with the oil, and saute, shaking the pan to brown them lightly all over.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and a little water, and cook, covered, over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until soft, adding more water if necessary.
