Oregano |
Oregano comes in a surprising array of colours and flavours beyond the familiar green hues and warm scents of Greek oregano. For the best flavour in cooking, however, Greek oregano is the choice that is appropriately punget to the nose and peppery on the tastebuds. This herb is hardy when well established and placed in a hot, dry, and very well-drained location that mimics its Mediterranean origins. It will need mulch and protection to get through the winter if there is no snow cover. Oregano dries quickly when placed in a warm, shaded and ventilated place. Separate the leaves from the stems and store them in an air-tight jar so that your chilis, soups, sauces, and pizzas are flavoured with a bit of Mediterranean summer warmth.
