Valentine’s Day Menu (some tasty options)

If you want to impress your valentine this year, here are a few easy options you could try.  Even if you make a bags of it, you’ll surely get some credit for trying! I’ve given 2 options for starter, main course and dessert.  The easiest option is the Tomato Salad, Tarragon Chicken and the Chocolate Mousse.  Let me know how you get on and if I’ll be invited to the wedding!!

Starters

Tomato, Mozarella and Basil Pesto Salad. I made this for the Emirates challenge on Masterchef

Main Course

Mackerel with Beetroot, Orange and Harissa: Based on an Ottelenghi recipe, this incorporates the beautiful flavours of preserved lemons.

Tarragon Chicken with Crème Fraiche: Lovely with free range chicken pieces. This can be put in the oven and forgotten about.
