Girlfriend Dinner to Impress

Fresh if they're any good, risotto doesn't take forever to cook, I can make a decent risotto in 20 minutes if all the ingredients are prepped.

I've been to restaurants where they only serve it on the hour or half hour as well.

I can assure you reheating rissoto is not as bad as you think, i have made 100's of covers with risso this way and never had any complaints of it being stodgy
 
I did this once for my girlfriend, went down well:

Seared Scallops upon Celeriac Purée, topped with Black Olive Tapenade
Fresh, hand dived, scallops, quickly seared. Paired with a refreshing celeriac purée and topped with an exciting black olive tapenade.

Mocha Steak with a Miso and Mushroom Sauce
Sirloin steak, flavored with coffee, chocolate and miso. Served upon velvet potatoes accompanied with roasted asparagus spears.

Green Tea and Vanilla Panna Cotta
A luxuriously, but pleasantly light, panna cotta exotically twinned with vanilla and green tea.

Champagne & Strawberries


I could dig out some recipes if you want.
 
I did this for my gf not to far back did a choritzo and pepper tart for breakfast, Lancashire hotpot for a main and brownies and apple crumble for dessert. She ate it, loved it, fell asleep and didn't wake up all evening.
