Herbs

Turkish oregano is from the same family as 'common' oregano. The leaves are small, round and velvety. The leaves can also be dried very well. The flavour is slightly bitter and less sweet than oregano and Marjoram. The flavour is retained well during cooking.

Preparation & storage
Store
Store fresh sprigs of Turkish oregano by the stem. Wrap them in a damp cloth wrapped in plastic. Always check for rotten leaves and stems. Once affected, the whole bunch soon spoils.
You can also dry Turkish oregano just fine.
Drying is done like this:
- Spread the leaves on a clean (dry) tea towel.
- Turn them over occasionally.
- Can you crumble them? Then they have dried. This can take about 2 weeks.
- Store the leaves in a sealable jar or container. Store in a cool, dry and dark place.
Prepare
Pick the leaves from the stem, wash them and chop finely.
You can eat the leaves of Turkish oregano either raw or cooked. The flavour is retained well during cooking.
The flavour is thyme-like and you can use it as a substitute for marjoram or oregano.
