    Mexican oregano
    it's not oregano at all.
    For another, I believe the main flavor component
    is thyme anyway. Why it's not called Mexican
    thyme or Mexican verbena I don't know.
    I have never come across it but my reading tells me its essential

    It thrives in zone 9 and above, not zone
    negative three.

    oils are primarily thymol, carvacrol (found in oregano), para-cymene
    (found in cumin) and eucalyptol. I think I'd like it!

    Probably, but you could substitute things
    that are more easily at hand.

    Title: Barbacoa Seco De Chivo

    I'm mostly on board with this.

    Categories: Mexican, Lamb, Tortillas, Filling
    Yield: 24 Servings

    6 lb boned goat leg,cut in chunks
    2 ts Salt
    3 tb White wine vinegar
    5 sm Hot chili peppers

    But I was thinking maybe 50 peppers.

    10 Cloves garlic
    1 tb Mexican oregano
    2 ts Whole cloves
    2 ts Cumin seeds
    1 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Cinnamon, ground
    8 Cooked tomatillos
    1/2 c Toasted almonds, walnuts,
    Or pine nuts
    2 tb Cooking oil
    1 lb Ripe tomatoes, chopped
    1 Green bell pepper, chopped
    1 c Green onions, minced
    1/2 c Cilantro, minced
    1/2 c Fresh tomatillos, chopped
    1/4 c Fresh basil, minced

    And don't see how the basil fits.

    1 Clove garlic minced
    1 ts Coriander seed, ground
    Salt to taste

    Sprinkle the meat with salt and vinegar. Cover and chill overnight or
    for at least a couple of hours. Make a paste in a blender or food
    processor of the chili peppers, garlic, oregano, cloves, cumin, black
    pepper, cinnamon, tomatillos, nuts, and oil. To be on the safe side,
    put your cloves in first to make sure they do get broken up some. The
    cumin seeds do not have to get completely ground, but you want them
    at least partially broken up as well.

    Smear the paste all over the boned meat and bake in a well oiled
    dutch oven or roasting pan covered at 350 F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours
    until tender. Put the ripe tomatoes, green pepper, green onions,
    cilantro, coriander, and fresh tomatillos in a lightly oiled sauce
    pan and cook aver low heat until starting to simmer. Remove from
    heat. When the meat is done, shred the meat and serve in warm
    flour tortillas topped with the salsa.

    MMMMM

    ... Mexico actually won that war because the US ended up with Texas.

    Fair enough.
