Herb - Greek Oregano Plant in well drained soil will help during periods of excessive rain, and raised beds filled with organic topsoil and compost are good for this plant also. Like most herbs, six hours of sun is preferable to fully develop those mouth watering flavors. Greek Oregano has a strong flavor but it doesn't hold up well to prolonged cooking, especially when used fresh. Pick several kinds of cooking herbs and make a culinary bouquet. Greek Oregano chopped and mixed with garlic, salt, and olive oil makes a great marinade for pork, beef, or roasted potatoes. Add a little Rosemary to the marinade and use it on poultry. Greek Oregano can be used fresh or dried. |
