    Marjoram (Origanum majorana, syn. Majorana hortensis Moench, Majorana majorana (L.) H. Karst[2]) is a somewhat cold-sensitive perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavors. In some Middle-eastern countries, marjoram is synonymous with oregano, and there the names sweet marjoram and knotted marjoram are used to distinguish it from other plants of the genus Origanum.

    While this dish was good enough to make again, I will make modifications when I do. The end result is quite picklish. The chiles marinate in 1 1/2 cups of vinegar, so no surprise there. Next time I will make the marinade with some oil and less vinegar. We liked the potato-sardine combination quite a bit. I didn't use salt as I thought the sardines were salty enough, but it could have used a little seasoning. Or maybe more sardine in proportion to potato. I'd also like to try this stuffed with a potato and anchovy combination. All in all, a success. The stuffed chiles plate nicely, and make a pretty first course. It will be a fun recipe to try again with variations.
