Onions Monegasque - Appetizers image

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
