--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      ts            Salt
   1      lg            Red onion -- peeled and sliced
     1/4  ts            Black peppercorns
     1/4  ts            Cumin seeds
     1/2  ts            Dried Mexican oregano
   2      cl            Garlic -- peeled and halved
     1/4  ts            Salt
     1/3  c             Cider vinegar

Bring 2 qt water to the boil in a saucepan, then add 2 ts 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 turn the slices into a bowl.

Coarsely grind the peppercorns and cumin, and fold into the onions
along with the 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.

Notes:

Cover and store in the refrigerator, where the onions will keep for a
week or more.
