Marjoram
We view Marjoram as the next big herb to be rediscovered
by American cooks. Marjoram is very popular throughout the Western world
and is frequently found in Polish, Italian, Mexican and French cooking.
Closely related to oregano, marjoram has a flowery flavor, which is quite
strong and flavorful. Like basil, marjoran should be added near the end
of cooking. Marjoram improves the flavor of tomato sauce, bean soup, marinated
vegetables and salad dressing, and is a traditional addition to Polish sausage
(kielbasa). Marjoram is also excellent in place of or in addition to oregano
or basil on baked chicken or a pasta side-dish. From Egypt. |
