How to use fresh oregano

• To use fresh oregano, hold the rinsed and dried stems in one hand and strip off the leaves by running your fingers of the other hand down the stems.
• Use whole leaves or chop them with a sharp, dry knife.
• The Italians traditionally also use the buds just before they flower.
• Make a marinade or sauce with other ingredients that pair well with oregano: olive oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, onion, parsley and thyme.
• If you have an excess of fresh oregano, you can dry it by tying the stems together and hanging it in a warm, dry, well-ventilated place.
• Store cut oregano like a cut flower in a glass of water.
