Cooking with Marjoram
Essential oils are very potent compared to dry seasonings, spices, or other flavouring agents, so even the tiniest amount can add a serious blast of flavour to your dish. When using Marjoram in cooking, it is best to use the toothpick method – dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the essential oil bottle and stir the toothpick into your ingredients. After you’ve stirred the toothpick around in the dish, do a taste test to see whether you want to add more of the oil or not.
Uses
- Replace Marjoram essential oil in your next recipe that calls for dried Marjoram.
- Add one drop of Marjoram to savoury dishes, including soups, sauces, salads and especially meat dishes.
Directions for Use
For food flavouring.
Cautions
