Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate love and what better way to do so than with a delicious, spicy meal? From breakfast to lunch and dessert, these dishes are sure to make your day extra special. Wayne Blake, Cluster General Manager for ANEW Hotels & Resorts, shares his top ideas for a Valentine’s menu with a kick.
Breakfast
Start your day with a Spicy Breakfast Curry Bowl that will warm you up from the inside out. To make this dish, sauté onions, garlic, green chili, turmeric, and garam masala. Add coconut milk for creaminess and mix in cooked quinoa. Serve the curried quinoa in a bowl and top it with eggs, mushrooms, or your favorite vegetables. For an extra kick, add a dash of chili sauce.
Lunch
For lunch, indulge in a Thai-style Spicy Grilled Cheese sandwich. Combine butter and Thai red curry paste, then spread the mixture on sourdough slices. Add cheddar cheese and fresh jalapeño or green chili slices for a spicy filling. Grill the sandwich until golden and crispy, then serve it with a tangy cucumber salad. Pair this flavorful dish with ice-cold lemonade infused with mint for a refreshing touch.
Dessert
End your meal on a sweet yet spicy note with a Chilli Mango Sorbet Sundae. Blend ripe mangoes with lime juice, sugar, and red chili powder, then freeze the mixture until solid. Serve the sorbet with honey, fresh chili slices, and crushed salted peanuts for a crunchy finish. This dessert is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
These recipes are a great way to add some excitement to your Valentine’s Day celebration. Whether you’re cooking for your partner or treating yourself, these dishes are sure to impress. So, spice up your day with these delicious and flavorful meals that will make your Valentine’s Day extra special.
