Recipe for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with dinner plates from Bormioli Rocco

Feb. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Are you planning a romantic dinner for your significant other for Valentine's Day and are looking for some inspiration? Here is a guide to the perfect dinner: Table design ideas, an authentic Italian recipe and more.

If you are planning a romantic dinner, you want to start the planning of course with a delicous recipe. We suggest the authentic Italian Lobster stew with cabbage, mushrooms and citronette from the chefs Luca Meccheri and Federico Di Chiara.

For two portions you'll need:1 Lobster, ½ glove garlic, butter to taste, 100 g porcini mushrooms, ½ lemon, ½ bunch lesser calamint, extra virgin olive oil to taste and savoy cabbage.

How to prepare the stew:
Prepare the citronette, squeezing the lemon in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and stir well. Afterwards add 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil and mix with a whisk. Let rest in the fridge.

Separate the claws and the tail of the lobster from the head and boil the claws in for seven minutes, drain and put in iced water. Repeat the same with the tail, reducing the cooking time to 4 minutes.
Wash and clean the savoy cabbage and boil in salted water.
Drain the claws and the lobster’s tails and sauté in a pan with a knob of butter for 1 minute.
Aside, cut the porcini mushrooms into thick slices and sauté in a pan with oil and the garlic.
Add the chopped lesser calamint and cook for a few minutes. Combine all elements together on the plate, season with the citronette and serve. We recommend a chilled, dry white wine with this dish.

For a Valentine's Day dinner you should also pay attention to creating the right atmosphere. If you want to, you can of course go for heart-shaped red and pink decorations but they are very kitschy aren't they? So how about a clean, ironed tablecloth, a couple of candles and some fresh flowers instead? You can bring some color to the table with a colored dinner plate set! It's a great alternative to classic white dinner plates for your culinary delights! We recommend metallic light blue dinner plates from Bormioli Rocco.
