A Few Ideas To Get You Started
Ground Mexican Oregano adds pungent, robust flavor to any Mexican dish. Mexican Oregano's flavor is stronger than the more common Mediterranean oregano. Start light, try 1/8 teaspoon for 4 servings. Add it near the end of the cooking time for long simmered dishes. Sprinkle on zucchini, eggplant, or sweet peppers for Mexican zest.
