While basil and oregano often steal the spotlight, sweet marjoram is another wonderful herb that’s in season and well worth discovering. It has a delicate, slightly sweet flavor that’s similar to oregano but much milder and more subtle.
Fresh sweet marjoram pairs beautifully with a variety of whole-food, plant-based dishes. Sprinkle it over roasted vegetables, stir it into homemade soups or add it to beans for a fresh burst of flavor without the need for added oil.
Its gentle flavor complements summer produce without overpowering it, making it an easy herb to keep on hand while fresh herbs are at their peak.
Have you ever cooked with sweet marjoram or is this a new herb for you?
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
