When you grow this herb, for the bushiest plants, snip the stems short at the beginning of the growing season.

 

Oregano is commonly used in the following cuisines: Greek, Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, Mexican and Cuban cuisines.

 

The dishes: It would hard to imagine a tomato sauce without oregano, Moussaka, slow cooked roasts, stove top stews, Italian baked pastas, Italian meat sauces and A to Z macaroni dishes and stews.

 

Usage: use this herb sparingly, as it can be a bit bitter in excess.
