Help! Hot date coming for dinner.....

[RossiT]

Hello,

I'm not the most adventurous in the kitchen but not a bad cook when follow a receipe.

The problem is I have a date coming for dinner later this week and have no idea what a cook, any suggestions would be really appreciated. Something that looks nice, tasty but doesn't take hours to prepare would be great.

Thanks

A spit roast maybe?

Fish fingers?

[littlebasher]

Don't forget to add your special sauce

Ask if she likes chicken...

And something nice for pudding with squirty cream!

Put your knob in a finger roll......



On another note - send us a pic so we can decide what food we think she'll like...

Don't say we aren't helpful

Satays: marinated meat on sticks.

Quick to prepare and cook, you can't go wrong with these plus a bit of salad / salsa for the girlie.

Bangin' recipe this, from Rick Stein via a (male, Australian) friend. A leg-opener - or so he claims.

He's not wrong.

Marinade:

1 tbs coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbs black peppercorns
25 grams garlic, crushed
3 Thai chillies, finely chopped
juice of a lime
2 tsp raw cane (or palm) sugar
1 tbs kecap manis (Indonesian soy sauce)
1 tbs oil

Dry roast the spices, grind and combine with all the other ingredients. Cube 500g of sirloin steak and marinate in the above for 30 minutes, then thread onto bamboo skewers. BBQ (or grill) until done to your liking.

Dipping sauce:

3 tbs kecap manis
juice of 1/2 a lime
2 red Thai chillies, finely chopped
1/2 a banana shallot, finely chopped

Mix together and serve with the BBQed satays.

Tread carefully as Coriander is loved and hated in equal measures - I fking hate the stuff, but as you aren't trying to bang me (to my knowledge) that probably doesn't matter :-)

Whatever you pick, do a trial run of it a day or two before!
