The 14th February is Valentine’s Day, a time to make couples feel special, and what better way is there to do that than by warming their hearts with delicious romantic meals off the grill? Restaurants and caterers can celebrate this yearly occasion by offering tasty dishes that get taste buds tingling and create everlasting experiences that bring pairs even closer together.
If you’re in need of a little inspiration on what to cook, however, then look no further. We’ve compiled together a list of scrumptious starters, a mesmerising main, and even some delightful desserts, all of which are sure to go down a treat and help set the stage for a memorable Valentine’s Day!
Starters
Tomato Bruschetta
Light, simple, and flavourful, tomato bruschetta is grilled bread with a dash of olive oil and garlic, then topped with vine-ripened tomatoes that offer a touch of sweetness. What makes this dish stand out is its use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, along with its vibrant appearance, with both of these factors explaining why it has been a staple in Italy for as long as a millennium.
This recipe from The Spruce Eats honours this traditional dish, calling for a tasty Tuscan bread base, which is grilled until golden brown and then rubbed with garlic cloves and finally topped with fresh tomatoes, sea salt, olive oil, and basil.
Lamb Kofta Kebabs
If your guests would prefer to dig into some grilled meat straight away, then lamb kofta kebabs are also a good way to go. Mix some minced lamb with onions, garlic, and chilli flakes before shaping them around skewers and placing them on the griddle. Continuously brush them with oil until brown all over and cooked through. Consider serving with a mint yoghurt as well in order to balance out the heat from the chilli flakes.
Main Course
Grilled Steak with Herb Butter
A rich, juicy steak is a sure winner on Valentine’s Day, especially when seasoned well and cooked right! This recipe from Iowa Girl Eats shows you exactly what goes into a great steak seasoning, from salt and pepper to fennel and red chilli flakes. You will also find guidance on how to cook the steak well as well as discover how to make a delicious herb butter for even extra flavour. If you thought this recipe couldn’t be any more helpful, then you’re happily mistaken. With a list of side dish ideas, you won’t be stuck on what to pair the steak with.
Deserts
Barbecued Brownie Pan Pudding
For dessert, your guests will be looking for something as sweet as their significant others, and whilst nothing will quite match that, this raspberry brownie pan pudding will come extremely close. This recipe from Delicious Magazine maps out how you can make a gooey and tarty brownie mix that will bring pleasure with every mouthful! Pair it with ice cream or sorbet for a textural contrast and to make it extra indulgent.
Barbecued Pineapple with Spiced Rum Caramel
This dish (also from Delicious Magazine) is another sweet treat you can serve to couples this Valentine’s Day. Grilling pineapples gives them a sweet, smoky flavour that offers a completely different way to enjoy this fruit. The spiced rum caramel will add warmth and comfort to the dish, whilst lime cream will help balance out the sweetness.
