Place the tongue, one-quarter onion, four garlic cloves, and two bay leaves in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover.
Cook at high pressure for 35 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
Peel the tongue while warm, remove the tough parts, and slice it thinly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the remaining onion, garlic, carrots, and jalapeños for 5 minutes.
Add the vinegar, oregano, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and parsley, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the warm mixture over the sliced tongue and season with salt.
