Cooking with Herbs & Spices

OREGANO: Oregano is the ultimate herb to use in tomato bases in pizzas. If you do not think you know the flavour of oregano, try eating a pizza without the herb, or smell a bunch of freshly picked oregano – it should remind you of pizza without you even having to try it. However it is widely used to flavour a number of other dishes, including spaghetti bolognaise, chilli and in a bouquet garni to flavour soups, stocks and stews

Oregano works well with many tomato dishes, including pizza, spaghetti bolognaises, chilli and a variety of Italian dishes. It may also be added fresh to salads. Oregano compliments a variety of meats and vegetables with strong flavours such as those containing zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, aubergine and lamb. Oregano also works well with other herbs and flavourings, for example garlic, onion, thyme, basil, parsley, and olive oil..

 

 

Greek Herb Cooking Tips

Tips for Using Oregano in Cooking: Add the oregano towards the end of the cooking process to maximise its flavour. Use oregano a little at a time – too much can cause the meal to become bitter. If you run out of oregano, you can substitute it with marjoram (however because of its milder flavour, use twice as much marjoram). Crush dried oregano in the palm of your hand before cooking to help release the essential oils trapped within the leaves. Use 1tsp dried oregano for every 1bsp fresh oregano.
