Mexican Oregano Leaves to use in South American recipes.

Description & Use

This robust South American herb of the verbena family has a strong savoury aroma, and characteristic flavour that is associated with Mexican cooking. Another variety, often referred to as Mexican Oregano, is Poliomentha longliflora which has a different flavour to the one grown in Mexico.

Add dried Mexican Oregano leaves to soups, stews and casseroles. It flavours spaghetti bolognese, pizza and most pasta dishes. A little Mexican oregano goes well in mashed potato and Mexican bean dishes. The street food recipe below for Mexican Roadside Char-grilled Chicken is one the whole family will enjoy.

Produce of Mexico packed in Australia.
