 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    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

 , and fold all together. Let stand for at least 4 hours -- or longer, until they
  take on a beautiful pink color.
