While this day can be a source of mixed emotions for many, one thing rings true – if you want to do something special for someone, a gift from the heart is always best. To this end, I’d like to share what I made my girlfriend this past Thursday.
- Colossal Scallops, broiled and dusted in coarse sea salt, cracked garlic pepper blend, and ground thyme
- Elk London Broil steaks, seared on CI in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic
- 12oz Lobster tail, steamed and topped with housemade clarified butter
- Beta sweet carrots and asparagus, broiled and seasoned like the scallops
- Dessert was housemade chocolate dipped strawberries and raspberries, with a delicious and mildly citrusy North African chocolate called Akoma
I will post the individual recipes for these goodies in their respective categories in the weeks to come, but wanted to share this today for your enjoyment!
