Cooking with Oregano: Tips & Inspiration
Oregano Recipe FAQs
What foods taste best with oregano?
Oregano goes well with Mediterranean flavours, especially tomato sauces or aubergine dishes. When it comes to meaty dishes, it pairs well with any strong-tasting meat. We love it with lamb or pork.
When should you add fresh oregano to sauce?
Add fresh oregano right at the end of the cooking time so that it doesn’t lose its powerful scent and taste. Alternatively, you can add a sprig of oregano to the oil you're going to use for roasting potatoes. This gives you a rich oregano oil that brings an extra layer of flavour.
How should you store fresh oregano leaves?
Keep your fresh oregano leaves in the fridge, wrapped up in a damp piece of kitchen paper and stored inside an airtight container. Use it within three days.
How should you use fresh oregano?
Add fresh oregano to your favourite Mediterranean meals, or sprinkle a few leaves over a just-cooked pizza. Remember, if you’re substituting fresh oregano for dried, you need about twice as much fresh. Dried oregano has a more intense taste.
Can you eat fresh oregano?
Yes, and there’s no need to cook it first. Fresh oregano is often used in salads. Don’t eat the stalks, though, as they’re chewy and woody.
