5 Course Easy Valentines Day Menu!

So Valentines Day is on a Friday this year and you want to cook something delicious but is not going to stress you out after a day at work. Try this 5 Course Valentines Day menu! I'm sharing the perfect Valentines day cocktail, starter, main, side dish and dessert that you can do ahead of time so that it is waiting for you when you get home after work!

1 - Cocktail: Ferrero Rocher Martini

Nothing says love like chocolate (or maybe I just love chocolate haha) and this Ferrero Rocher martini is so easy to whip up! Made with just four ingredients, it’s effortlessly elegant and tastes just like a luxe bar-quality cocktail!

2 - Starter: 5 Minute Smoked Salmon Salad

I am utterly addicted to this 5 minute salmon and cucumber salad and I like to have it at least once a week during summer. I also like serving this as part of a multi course meal because it is so light and fresh and makes the perfect amount to share with a lucky someone. Plus did I mention it only takes 5 minutes? ;)

3 - Main: Sticky Glazed Asian Beef Short Ribs

These beef short ribs are one of my most popular ever beef recipes and once you try them you will see why! You can make these in a pressure cooker or slow cooker and most of the work is done the day before and it just requires a bit of heating up and reducing (or do this beforehand too!). The result are restaurant quality beef short ribs!

4 - Side Dish: 5 Minute Fig Feta Salad

This fig, feta and pomegranate salad is a five minute Valentine’s Day delight. The season brings plump, juicy figs and the first pomegranates of the season and these two luscious ingredients make up a quick 5 minute salad!

5 - Dessert: Lemon Posset Brulee

This dessert is all about pre-prepping! It needs to set in the fridge so start this the day before and just blowtorch before serving (or serve untorched!). This light, creamy dessert is so easy with only a few ingredients.

So tell me Dear Reader, do you go out for Valentines Day or do you eat at home?
