Roasted Oregano Finishing Dust
Roasted Oregano Finishing Dust: A small garnish of finely ground, dried edible material added at service. It is a seasoning accent, not a layer of burnt residue, and should not cover the flavor of the plate.
Context
Identify whether the oregano is fresh or dried, since the intensity differs. Warm dried leaves briefly without scorching; burnt herb particles add bitterness rather than useful depth.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a restrained finishing seasoning. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
