Culinary Uses
- Oregano has become an essential ingredient in many Italian dishes including pizza, pastas, and roasted vegetables. Oregano paired with basil are the basis for many Italian seasonings.
- It is also widely used in Greek and Mexican cooking. As the main herb flavoring in chili powder, oregano holds up well in a mix with other flavors. The Greeks enjoy oregano in baked fish and it is the main flavoring in Greek salad.
- Try adding sprigs of oregano on the coals of a grill for a flavor infusion to whatever you are cooking on top. Oregano's rich flavor also deepens and melds flavors of soups and sauces without overwhelming the dish.
- Oregano can be used either fresh or dried. When using the fresh herb, use twice the amount as dried.
Other Uses
- Infuse bathwater with oregano for a relaxing soak. Oregano is also used in potpourri and pillows.
