Lavender Red Wine Sauce for Meat, Rice or Pasta
From Livestrong.com. We haven't tried this yet. The original recipe just called for a clove of garlic but it didn't say whether you should do anything to it, so I am assuming you should mince it. Red wine reduction with lavender, garlic, and onions. Adjust liquids to suit need. The website recommends that you pour this over couscous or pork chops (or other meat), on top of rice and pastas or toss with steamed veggies for a great, aromatic and very low fat option!
