Roasted Oregano Oil
Roasted Oregano Oil: An oil carrying the ingredient’s flavor, usually by a controlled infusion in an existing culinary oil. This does not mean a home cook extracts pure oil simply by roasting the ingredient.
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 few drops added at service, following safe refrigerated handling. 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.
