From Rancho Gordo. A Mexican pantry staple loaded with bright, almost citrus-like, earthy flavor A delicious and essential part of the Mexican pantry. Similar to European Oregano, but less sweet and with a slight citrus twist.
There are many plants known as "oregano" in Mexico but this is the most common (Lippia graveolens). A tip from a good cook in the Yucatan shares that Mexican Oregano really shines when it's been toasted for a moment or two on a hot, dry skillet.
Use in sauces, in salsas, sauces on simple grilled meat or anywhere authentic, savory flavor is needed.
