How to play with oregano and chilli flakes while cooking? Few ideas, just for you

Be fancy with oregano and chilli flakes.

1. Garlic and red pepper paste.

Preheat the oven to 350 ℉. Remove the outer layer of skin from the garlic bulbs while leaving the bulbs alone. Cut each garlic head in half and place in an oven-proof dish large enough to hold all 10 of them. Pour the olive oil over the flesh that has been exposed. Season the garlic with oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover securely with foil and bake for 1 1/2 to 1 hour, or until very soft. Allow cooling for a few minutes before removing the cloves from their husks and any remaining oil from the baking dish into a basin. Add the red pepper and mash it up a little, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a jar, making sure there are no air pockets, drizzle with olive oil, and cover with the lid. Store it in the fridge.

2. French fries seasoning

Ingredients

2 tbsp salt

1 tbsp dry minced garlic or garlic powder

1 tbsp dry minced onion

2 tsp dry chilli flakes

2 tsp oregano

1 1/2 tsp sugar

In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and pulse until the seasoning is a powder.

Serve on french fries.

3. Skinny breakfast sausage

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken (hormone and cage free recommended)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

1 teaspoon dried sage

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes more or less to taste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

kosher or sea salt to taste

In a large mixing basin, combine all of the ingredients. To make sausage patties, adjust the size and thickness to your liking. I normally get approximately 8 patties out of each batch. Uncooked patties can be stored in the freezer for up to a month.

In a large nonstick skillet, fry patties on both sides until golden brown and cooked through.
