1 bunch fresh cilantro, thick stems discarded and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

1. Cook potatoes in boiling water 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool to room temperature. Quarter the potatoes; set aside.

2. Grill onion slices over high heat until lightly caramelized.

3. Toast coriander and cumin seeds in small dry skillet on medium heat 1 minute or until fragrant. Add oregano; lightly toast about 20 seconds, watching for burning. Immediately remove spices from skillet
