Cooking With Lavender

Tweet

I love lavender. Every aspect of the dear plant-oil, color, scent, flower. What is there not to like? I remember one time when I was still living with my ex. There was a grill out back. One summer evening we were having friends over for dinner. I had taken a good sized pork roast out to thaw but couldn't decide how I wanted to fix it. I make some potato salad and then went out to pick some flowers and herbs for an arrangement. I took a deep whiff of the lavender as I clipped a few stems. There I had it! I'd use lavender and rosemary on the outside and roast it in foil. With garlic and oil I slathered it with a lot of lavender. Oh! Did I get rave reviews!
