Tuesday at the (Herbal) Table: Oregano

We love Greek food in our household!  This means we use a lot of Oregano.  My favorite way to use it is on a plate of authentic Greek Feta cheese (very difficult to find here), drizzled with good olive oil and sprinkled with oregano. Yum!  Add a good loaf of bread, and a few tomatoes, and that's a meal in itself.

When it comes to growing oregano, I'm afraid I haven't had a whole lot of success.  Herbs in the garden have a tendency to spread and take over, so I put them in pots, but our dry climate often leaves them with not enough water.  I may have to try to put them in our front yard or another place away from the vegetable garden, and try again.

One easy Greek dish I like to make this time of year is an egg dish with (garden) zucchini and feta cheese.  I first saute cubed zucchini and onions in olive oil until slightly soft.

Then I add 6 (beaten) eggs, lots of oregano, and other spices, cooking as you would an omelet.  When it's almost set, I pile on the crumbled feta cheese, then put it the oven under the broiler for a few minutes to finish cooking it.  It's a super easy, wonderful summer meal.
