just received the latest malt shovel newsletter which contained a few recipes for valentines day to match with some of there beers

FOOD OF LOVE

With Valentines Day only a few more days away, we thought we'd share a few recipes that'll spice things up a bit for that special day and we've matched them each with one of our beers.

Oysters
Oysters were documented as an aphrodisiac food by the Romans in the second century A.D as mentioned in a satire by Juvenal. He described the wanton ways of women after ingesting wine and eating "giant oysters". In reality oysters are a very nutritious and high in protein.


Raw Oysters with Lemon
Serve with James Squire Porter

Ingredients
2 doz. cleaned oysters
2 lemons, cut into quarters




Place the oysters on a large bed of crushed ice or rock salt
Serve with the lemon
Garlic
The 'heat' in garlic is said to stir sexual desires. Make sure you and your partner share it together.

Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad
Serve with a James Squire Golden Ale

Ingredients
300g chicken tenderloins, sliced into 3 pieces
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Dry Italian herbs
Olive Oil
Bacon rashers
1 egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp castor sugar
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Cos lettuce


Place chicken in a bowl. Add herbs and garlic and mix well. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil.
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken, bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden.
Swirl boiling water with a spoon to form a whirlpool and slowly add in egg. Cook for 1 minute, Drain.
Mix together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard and pepper until well combined.
Place lettuce in a salad bowl. Top with chicken,, bacon and croutons and drizzle over dressing. Place poached egg on top and garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Mustard
In European history, mustard has long been considered a potent aphrodisiac. Throughout much of recorded time, monks were not permitted to ingest mustard for it was believed to lead the men of God down the path to temptation.

It is mustard's pungency that earns the seed its aphrodisiac classification. Its intense, spicy flavour is credited with causing a rise in adrenalin.

1 tbsp butter
1 kg eye fillet
4 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Thankyou to our temporary visitor Dooogh17 for bringing this post back to life.

Just wanted to mention that oysters and stout/porter are a winning combination.

Now that the spambots are under control I reckon it might be safe to unlock this thread!
