Now I have tried a lot of different fresh herbs with my roasted vegetables but on sunday when we braaied we put some fresh lavendar sprigs in and roasted the vegetables on the braai. I will admit I was very skeptical at first because I thought it would totally overpower the vegetables and I was leaning more to lavendar being associated with sweet things...BUT I was sorely mistaken.
The subtle lavendar flavour just coated the vegetables and left a gently lingering flavour of lavendar on the palate which was fantasticly scrumptious. We also added fresh thyme and butter to the vegetables but the lavendar was the distant flavouring and it worked really well.
So if you are roasting vegetables and you dont have rosemary, lavendar works just as well. TRY IT
