Cooking Notes and Tips:
- Fresh vs. Dried Oregano: While dried oregano is traditional and convenient, fresh oregano can be used for a more intense, vibrant flavor, depending on what you’ll be serving your meat or veg with. If using fresh, double the amount.
- Storage: This marinade can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Extra Zing: Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade for an extra layer of flavor and a bit of tanginess.
