Oregano is a herb from the mint or lamiaceae family which heavily features in Mediterranean cuisine. This delicious herb perfectly pairs with tomato based dishes as well as in pasta sauce, on top of pizza or with fresh, roasted vegetables.
This herb has been used for thousands of years to not only flavour dishes but also to treat health conditions. It has been used to treat aching muscles and also to help with colds and asthma amongst other things. With a high oil content, oregano is gorgeously complex and aromatic with a slight hint of bitterness followed by a citrus taste. A little goes a long way but this well known herb is the perfect ingredient to spruce up your home cooking.
