What are the flavors in Greek meat seasoning?

Answer by  pyritejenny (347)

The primary flavor is oregano, pungent Greek oregano if possible. That's combined with salt and pepper, dried garlic, and perhaps mint. A Pinch of thyme may go in too.

I think it is the combination of spices used in greek meat seasoning that gives it good flavor. I taste garlic, cumin, oregano, cucumbers, onion , salt & pepper. I think some may also use wine or a yougart base.
