Dried Oregano Recipes

Dried oregano is a pantry herb with a warm, peppery, slightly bitter flavor that works especially well in tomato-based dishes, roasted vegetables, marinades, and grilled meats. Because it is dried, its flavor is concentrated and can stand up to long simmering, baking, and roasting.

Use dried oregano in recipes like pasta sauce, pizza, Greek salad dressing, chicken marinades, meatballs, soups, stews, roasted potatoes, and bean dishes. For the best flavor, crush it lightly between your fingers before adding it to release its aromatic oils.

A little goes a long way: dried oregano is stronger than fresh oregano, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste. It pairs naturally with olive oil, garlic, lemon, tomatoes, feta, chicken, lamb, and Mediterranean-style vegetables.
