McCormick Gourmet Collection Organic Oregano pairs beautifully with tomato, basil, garlic, thyme, and lemon — flavors that are essential to Mediterranean cuisine. A dash of oregano elevates so many dishes, from Greek grilled meats to roasted potatoes and Mediterranean vegetables. When fresh herbs aren’t available, substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano for 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh oregano for effortless flavor.
