Instructions: Marinate pork tenderloin in 1 ounce of the olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, the lavender, and salt and pepper for about an hour.

In a sauce pan over medium heat, lightly brown the onions, then add the remaining garlic, peppers, jalapenos, ancho chilies and almonds. Saute for a few minutes. Add the cinnamon and coriander and saute for a minute, then add tomatoes. Deglaze the pan with the stock and add the peanut butter.

Sear pork until nicely browned and roast in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. While pork is roasting, puree the sauce in a blender or use a hand-immersion blender. Place sauce back in pan and adjust consistency. Stir in chocolate and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Place sauce on a serving platter and slice pork on the bias and fan on top of the sauce.
