It requires 220grams linguine or spaghetti, 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus a splash for frying, 10 fresh shelled scallops, 2 tablespoons chopped red chillies, 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus a handful of fresh rocket. <br /><br />Cook the pasta, then heat with a non-stick frying pan with a splash of oil and fry the scallops for 1-2 mins until golden, then turn and cook for a further 1-2 mins. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Add the oil to the pan with the chillies, garlic and lemon zest. Gently warm through, then add the drained pasta, half the lemon juice and the rocket and season with salt and black pepper. Divide the pasta between 2 bowls and top with the scallops. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice and grind over some extra black pepper. Et voila, the admiration of the object of your affection is assured. In short, the perfect Valentine's Day meal!Ian Campbellhttp://twitter.com/#!/Ianthesunlovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-61182044861599858692011-02-09T10:39:36.853+00:002011-02-09T10:39:36.853+00:00The tarragon jelly is giving me trouble.

One positive light to come from this tragic tale is that my boyfriend is now my fiance! <br /><br />Please let me win - then maybe I wont have to poison anyone again...<br /><br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-49010767639534443332011-02-09T09:40:56.941+00:002011-02-09T09:40:56.941+00:00Looks so lovely!!!

I've been thinking this menu over for days! And I don't know if it would all work, would have to taste the ingredients first, but:<br /><br />Blend the cheese with balanced amounts of honey and horseradish - not too much - then bake in open-topped filo parcels, placing the smoked salmon on top for the last minute to warm it. Serve the parcels with rocket and cucummber salad, dressed with anchovy, lemon juice and (hint of) dill dressing. <br /><br />Smoked venison (can I add an ingredient that major?) with cherry and tarragon reduction, and some freshly baked, still warm, oaty bread. Don't want the main to be too complicated or heavy because dessert is...<br /><br />Individual chocolate and cherry pudding. Then plenty of fizzy wine and giggling, and possible footsie under the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-77547017170598154212011-02-03T20:28:34.600+00:002011-02-03T20:28:34.600+00:00Oh my.

Hmm.<br /><br />I think the anchovies would have gone into anchovy and lemon butter, then that spread onto butter pastry to make pinwheels so that some of the salmon could be served on those as a canapé. <br /><br />Filo would be brushed with butter and sandwiched with the tarragon jelly, then rolled up into cigars filled with the cheese. Baked until crispy and melting inside.<br /><br />The rest of the salmon would have to be served as it was, just on a bed of leaves but the leaves would be dressed with a horseradish and honey dressing.<br /><br />Now those cherries. Oh my. I would just have to make a couple of mini cheese cakes. Use a chocolate sponge as the base, drench that with the juices from the cherries, then add a layer of cream cheese beaten with more of the juice as flavouring and some of the cherries, chopped. Cherries on the top and then very dark chocolate grated onto it all.<br /><br />Darn.

The cheesecakes look DELICIOUS. <br /><br />I have no idea what I would have done with the ingredients. Probably chucked the anchovies straight onto some fabulous bread with unsalted butter and sliced shallots (a la Terroirs); sashimi up the smoked salmon in some way...maybe I'd have had a bash at making crumpets for the honey and would have chucked a slice of the cheese on them. And I would have whizzed up some of the cherries and topped up with champagne. <br /><br />Although...where's my main course? This isn't a meal.

Not for the reason you think: we need to maximise our sleep time before our little love child arrives.<br />With the beautiful Smoked Scottish Salmon I would definitely make blinis as they are a favourite of ours, topped with crème fraiche mixed with the horseradish sauce of course.<br />The marinated anchovies would make a beautiful crostini, either just on their own, or made into an olive and anchovy tapenade.<br />The Lancashire cheese I’d serve on toasted brioche, drizzled with the Regent’s Park honey. And finally, the brandied cherries would be lovingly fed to each other whole (perhaps with some light meringues for company).<br />Everything in the picnic is pretty easy to prepare and light too, so after some bubbles, we might find some time for something a bit more active (wink wink).<br />Becci (@feedetgastro)Beccihttp://feedetgastro.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-21116844085016245112011-02-03T09:50:46.674+00:002011-02-03T09:50:46.674+00:00Another great post!
