Lavender Salt

I found this salt at Whole Foods, listed under "Mediterranean Spice Blend". Its absolutely delicious and wonderful on roasted birds. It also works great to mix with butter for some lavender butter, or mix with the butter and add a little bit of orange honey for a slightly sweeter flavor. I use it to flavor popcorn (usually with olive oil or a little rosemary oil). I also use it on the Thanksgiving turkey and love it!

Ingredients
Sea salt
Rosemary, chopped
Lavender flowers
Garlic, chopped very fine and fried until golden brown
Freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil
Rosemary oil
Basil Oil


Fry the garlic in a combination of  canola, Rosemary and Basil oil, until golden brown.

Add the chopped rosemary and fry for a few seconds.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Remove the garlic and chopped rosemary and lay on a paper towel to let any excess oil drain.

When completely dried, add the garlic and the rosemary to the other ingredients and mix well.

The salt stays intact for a few months.
