Sweet Underrated Underused Marjoram
Posted on December 28, 2009 at 1:03 PM
We cook with marjoram all year long at Just Simply... Cuisine. It still grows in a sunny pot outdoors... even after our December blizzard and frigid temps.
A member of the mint family... fresh marjoram 's small oval pale green leaves are mild and sweet with an oreganolike flavor.
Marjoram works with almost any dish... fish, poultry, veggies, meats, pasta, sauces and stews.
Just remember to...
Add it at the end of your cooking time to capture its essence and delicate flavor.
