fresh oregano

🥗Healthier: dried oregano

💰Cheaper: oregano seasoning

Dried oregano is more convenient and has a longer shelf life.

Combine fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, garlic, green bell pepper, and jalapeño in a food processor.

Add olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and fresh oregano to the processor.

Blend until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if desired.

For the red mojo, blend red bell pepper, tomato, red wine vinegar, and black pepper in a separate bowl.

Combine the red mojo with the green mojo for a vibrant presentation, if desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for flavors to meld, up to 2 hours.
