It’s a date! There’s a lot of hype about going out to dinner on date nights, but some of the most memorable nights can be made from date-night-ins. Whether you’ve got a new special someone that you’re trying to impress or you’re sharing a romantic evening with your longtime love, plan an intimate at-home meal with a delicious dinner and tempting dessert, paired with the perfect bottle of wine. Here are a few date-night recipes that are sure to woo your sweetheart.
You can start the evening with any array of appetizers you choose, maybe beef tenderloin canapés, Panko-crusted crab cakelets, or even an antipasto plate.
Braised Pork Chops and Fennel:
One pan is all you need to make this fast braise of juicy pork chops and tender fennel. Bonus: The braising liquid turns into a delicious sauce that you’ll want to sop up with a piece of crusty bread.
Chicken Piccata:
Enjoy this restaurant favorite at home with a glass of white wine and fresh garden salad. This Italian chicken piccata dish is exquisite and easy to prepare.
Steak with Arugula, Lemon and Parmesan:
You will love the flavor combination of the aruglua, the clean citrus, and the grilled flavor of the meat–not to mention the Parmesan!
Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze:
Broiled salmon fillets are topped with a sweet and tangy glaze. This palette-pleasing main course is ready in just 20 minutes, giving you time to make a sweet cherry cheesecake or strawberry shortcake on a stick.
Brick Chicken with Rosé Wine and Bacon:
Deeply browned skin, smoky bacon, fresh herbs, and a liberal splash of rosé make this juicy chicken fancy enough for entertaining but easy enough for your dinner date.
Rib-Eye Steak with Pan Jus:
This is a nice way to prepare a rib-eye for two: ask the butcher for a steak cut thicker than usual, sear it, roast it and then thinly slice it on the bias. The pan juices are used to create a rich, simple sauce to accompany the meat.
After the meal is enjoyed, snuggle up on the couch with a bowl of spicy sriracha popcorn, a glass of wine and one of these 10 Date Night Movies To Watch At Home.
