Lemon Thyme Chervil Marjoram: Learn How to Use These Trendy Herbs | TODAY

Simple recipes / Lori Rice

Marjoram is a spice that plays nicely. So much so that it often appears in herb mixes with many other fragrant leaves that often fade into the role of "supporting actress" while its louder cousin oregano takes all the attention. I was not that familiar with its own personal style until recently; marjoram was something I just added because it was available.

Sweet marjoram the one and only marjoram is more than just oregano’s understudy. Its addition is what makes certain salad dressings sing why certain sausages burst with sweet savory flavor and what makes blends like herbs de Provence za’atar and Italian herbs work so well.
