Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Few sprigs flowering 2 tb Butter
-lavender 1 tb Flour
4 Chicken or rabbit portions Salt and pepper

Put a few sprigs of flowering lavender in the bottom of a steamer and
place the chicken or rabbit portions in the top. Steam for 20 to 30
minutes, until the meat is just tender; it should still be nice and
juicy. Keep warm.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and cook, stirring,
for 2 minutes. Pour in enough of the lavender-flavored water from
the steamer to give a sauce of the consistency you like, bring to the
boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste.

Slice the meat and serve, covered in pale lavender sauce. Decorate
each portion with a sprig of flowering lavender.

Leggatt writes: "Crunchy broccoli and wild rice go well with this
aromatic dish."
