Valentine’s Day Dinner For Two

A simple, delicious and extremely quick 3 course dinner for Valentine’s Day. Recipe below.

-Baked camembert with french bread

-Tuna steaks with salsa verde, flageolet bean salad and roasted cherry tomatoes

-Lemon sorbet Martini

Serves 2 (obviously)

1 box Camembert cheese
1 small baguette

2 tuna steaks
Handful of parsley
Small handful of mint
tablespoon capers
3 anchovies
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tin flageolet beans
half a red onion
Small handful of coriander
Cherry tomatoes, on the vine

1 tub of good lemon sorbet
Ice vodka

Preheat the oven to 200C.

Take the cheese out of its wrapping and return it to the box. Prick a few times with a fork and pour in a little white wine. Put the lid back on the cheese and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Finely chop the parlsey, mint, capers and anchovies and mix with the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil.

When the cheese has been in the oven for 20 minutes, tip the beans into a saucepan and heat gently for 4 minutes. Drain. Finely chop the onion and coriander and stir into the beans. Drizzle with olive oil and keep warm.

Remove the cheese from the oven, replacing it with the cherry tomatoes. Serve the Camembert with the baguette.

Return to the kitchen, making sure your Valentine’s date has a full glass. Heat a griddle pan till smoking hot. Rub the tuna steaks all over with oil, salt and pepper, and fry for 45 seconds on each side. Serve with the bean salad, roast cherry tomatoes, and a blob of salsa verde.

For dessert, put a couple of scoops of sorbet into a martini glass and pour over iced vodka.

Easy peasy, sexy supper.

Let’s Have A Luau

My Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII. Congratulations to them and the Arizona Cardinals for a sometimes too thrilling game (especially at the end). Now, there’s only one game left before this football season is over - the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Let’s do a luau.
