This versatile herb is commonly grown as a perennial or annual in kitchen herb gardens around the world. In cooking, marjoram lends a warm, peppery flavor to cheese, eggs, potatoes, dips, sauces, soups and stews. Marjoram is a member of the mint family and is often mistaken for oregano, although they are not the same plant. The leaves have a delicate, sweet, pleasant flavor with a slightly bitter undertone and are most commonly used as a flavoring for meat dishes.
The herb is commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking, often in combination with its botanical cousins — basil, oregano, savory and various mints. It is a key ingredient in za'atar, a Middle Eastern seasoning blend that includes salt, dried sumac and ground sesame seeds.
Marjoram is also a component of Italian seasoning mix and the French blend known as herbes de Provence.
