fresh oregano - ?

[miguelito]

I've just added oregano to my arsenal of home-grown herbs. I'm already a fan of dried oregano, so I was wondering if y'all have any great ways to use the fresh stuff.

Can you use it for the aroma? - I use lots of rosemary for this. Just about anything that goes in the oven gets a nice sprig of rosemary on top.

Can you chop it up and put it in salads? I like fresh thyme this way.

Can you smoke it?

So while it's taking root at home, I hope to get some good ideas from you.

Mostly just used in Italian dishes. Not commonly used for anything else that I know of.
