Veggie chilli - oregano substitute

[QueenOfIce]

I have everything but the 2 tablespoons of oregano. Should I omit it entirely or substitute it? Would thyme work or mixed herbs?

Mixed herbs will do the job.

Two tablespoons!

That is a lot of oregano. Are you making it in bulk? Mixed herbs or marjoram will be fine, or just omit it. None of my chilli recipes have oregano in them anyway.

Oregano in chilli seems a bit weird? Surely you’d use spices rather than herbs

I use a bit of oregano in chilli but not 2 tbs unless making a huge vat of it! I might use a little basil instead but I'd have thought it would be fine without any herbs. Key thing is spices. I use cumin and chilli.

I never use oregano in chilli either. Bolognese, yes. Chilli, nope. It'll be grand without it!

@TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap I'm all about the cumin in chilli- I use loads! (And chilli powder and paprika and cayenne. But mostly cumin)

Yes thyme. But put less in or it will taste slightly ‘medicinal’

mixed herb will be fine.
or majoram

Cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric?

You can substitute it with a bit of lemon juice or anything citrusy.

never coriander in chilli. eurgh.

paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano (or majoram or herbs de provence) and of course chilli.

I used thyme I'm making enough for 10 hence the massive amount!
