--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      teaspoons     salt
   1      large         red onion -- peeled and sliced
     1/4  teaspoon      black peppercorns
     1/4  teaspoon      cumin seeds
     1/2  teaspoon      Mexican oregano -- dried
   2      cloves        garlic -- peeled and halved
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
     1/3  cup           cider vinegar

Bring 2 quarts of water to the boil in a saucepan, then add 2 teaspoons of salt
and the onions. Bring back to the boil and boil a few seconds, until the onions
have softened slightly and the red color has bled into the white. Drain, and tur
n the slices into a bowl.
Coarsely grind the peppercorns and cumin, and fold into the onions along with th
e rest of the ingredients. Add just enough cold water barely to cover the onions
, and fold all together. Let stand for at least 4 hours -- or longer, until they
 take on a beautiful pink color.
