Apparently, my marjoram plant is growing larger by the day and I am trying to come up with different uses. Any ideas? Thu Jun 16 15:27:12 -0700 2005 0 mels 1 1473246 Marjoram pesto? I would think that would be wonderful, either in combination with or instead of basil.

So I put together a little marjoram page, with marjoram ideas/thoughts from my chef friend and a couple of recipes.

Marjoram and cheddar is great. Marjoram and corn is great as well. Mix into corn bread, corn pudding, or best of all find the sweetest freahest sweet corn, peel the husks back, layer some marjoram on the corn, replace husks and grill. Ummmm. Chop and sprinkle into mushroom risotto. Classically, layer under skin of roast chicken. Not-at-all-classically, take the smallest leaves, put in ziploc bag with a quarter cup of powdered sugar, shake, put in freezer for a few hours (or weeks), remove, give a good shake. Eat as candy, or garnish dishes like custard. Can also do this with mint (of course), basil, verbena and thyme. These make really interesting, simple, attractive, yummy additions to desserts. Man, I am hungry. Good luck! And dont be shy about reporting back (good or bad). Fri Jun 17 22:23:31 -0700 2005 1473229 0 rotochicken
