Culinary Herbs & Leaves
Cuban Oregano
Plectranthus amboinicus
Cuban oregano (húng chanh, tần dày lá) is a bushy herb with a woody base, twenty-five to seventy-five centimetres tall, its upright stems hairy and its paired leaves broad, oval and so thick they look succulent, seven to ten centimetres long, scalloped at the edge and glandular-haired. Small purple flowers crowd into whorls at the stem tips. Originally from the Moluccas, it is grown all over Vietnam, and in Indonesia, Malaysia, China and Cambodia, for those leaves, picked fresh with the young shoots and used as a culinary herb. The scent is pleasantly lemony, the taste fragrant at first then sharply pungent; the leaf oil is largely carvacrol.
