Instructions: In a small bowl, combine thyme, rosemary, lavender, and savory. Fan out three grape leaves on your work surface, vein-side up, joining them at their stem ends. Using an ice-cream scoop, place 4 ounces goat cheese in the center, and sprinkle with one-quarter of herb mixture and a grinding of pepper. Wrap leaves over cheese to enclose. Repeat with nine more leaves and remaining cheese. Store remaining leaves in the refrigerator indefinitely.

Place bundles in a shallow dish or jar, and just add enough oil to cover. Cover with plastic wrap or lid, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 3 weeks.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove bundles from oil, and drain well on paper towels. Place on grill, folded-side down, until leaves are slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn over bundle (cheese will be soft and capable of seeping out), and repeat.

Serve bundles warm atop mixed greens tossed with lemon and olive oil. Open leaves slightly to reveal the fresh herbs. Garnish with olives and bread.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: For best results, marinate the bundles in olive oil for at least one day; the longer they marinate, the more flavorful they will be. The bundles can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
