How to use oregano in cooking
It is very easy to use in oregano recipes – whether you use fresh or dried oregano.
For fresh oregano:
- All you do is remove the leaves from the stems, then you
- Chop them into small bits when used in sauces or meal recipes.
Fresh or Dried Oregano?
Oregano is one of the ‘super’ herbs with a long list of health benefits. For example the webmd site mentions its anti-inflammatory & antioxidant, properties. Oregano tea is used to help with headaches, cough, flu, backpain, etc, etc.
However it is very important to realise that many benefits (& flavour) are reduced during the drying process, which is why growing fresh oregano is such a good idea.
Yes, dried oregano is easy but in addition the fresh type adds lovely extra flavour to meals.
Fresh or hot & spicy oregano recipes?
Plain fresh oregano is the type you will find in some shops (not many have fresh available). But the hot & spicy type is well worth growing at home as it adds a different dimension to recipes.
Very easy to grow at home
It’s not very difficult to grow the different types of oregano at home – even indoors (in your kitchen, spare bedroom, garage, etc.
The picture above shows oregano which was grown in my kitchen, and simply moved outdoors into the garden.
Oregano will grow very fast and you will be able to use it in your recipes on a regular basis.
