Valentine's Supper

Healthy Valentine Supper

Why not go for a quick and easy starter

Smoked salmon and rocket
Prawn cocktail with natural yogurt, mayonnaise and the obligatory tomato sauce
Oatcakes and mackerel pate (made with quark, and mackerel fillets, season to taste)



 
Try mackerel pate with oatcakes or seeded bread toast


 













Smoked Mackerel Pate is easy to make - put the ingredients in a food processor, turn it on and in the words of Gordon Ramsey "done"

Main course:
Steak is a good option with chunky chips.
Steak should be no more than the size of the palm of your hand, remove visible fat and griddle it without oil to your liking.
Chunky chips - mean you eat less, stack on the side of your plate
Serve with choice of vegetables or salad

If you prefer switch the steak for chicken, fish or a stuffed mushroom. If you are especially hungry add a grilled tomato




Don't over cook it and let it stand to relax before serving
Dessert
 
A fruit platter is always a good option and easy to whip up. Serve with crème fraiche.
If you are feeling naughty - why not go for ice cream with hot chocolate sauce or for the angelic amongst you your best puddings would be Eton mess or jelly!
 
 
 
 
Add a glass of bubbly and make sure you've got some iced water on the table and you'll be in for a night of surprises!
