Rancho Gordo Oregano Indio

1

Description

From Rancho Gordo. A versatile, hand-harvested indigenous herb with earthy flavor, direct from the Huasteca region. Oregano Indio, (Poliomintha longiflora A. Gray), sometimes known as Oreja de Raton, or Mouse's Ear. It's less citrusy than the standard Mexican oregano and there's an indescribable earthiness that makes it infectious. This oregano is grown for Rancho Gordo by the Oregano Caxtle Cooperative in Tlahuitelpa. You can add it to all sorts of salsas and guisados. Or try mixing it with some garlic and olive oil and rubbing it over a pork tenderloin before roasting it. The flavor of the oregano is strong but not overpowering and permeates the whole loin. It also works beautifully with oil and vinegar for a great salad dressing.
