Looking for some suggestions for a 2 or 3 course meal to cook for the miss's who is presently in Argentina until new years eve. Want to cook something special for when she returns but cannot for the life of me think of anything other than my usual things like Lasagne or Roasts.

So im looking for suggestions and/or recipes for a romantic meal for 2, either 2 or 3 course.

Im no Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen but will certainly give it my best.

Avoid steak. If she is in Argetnina now, however good the meat is or how you cook it, it will still taste like crap to her.

Scallops on chorizo / black pudding for the starter?

Simple and amazing!

Fry some sliced chorizo in a pan with no oil. Let the chorizo cook out and some of the lovely peppery oil will come out.

Take the chorizo out of the pan and put to one side. Whack the scallops in the pan and cook off in the oil. Just make sure you do not overcook them, they will need 2 minutes MAX. Just before they are done squeeze a lemon into the pan. Just the juice.

To server, place a scallop on a slice of chorizo, and garnish with a bit of green leaf.

Sounds great, your right about the steak thing, she is from argentina anyway and steak is one thing I wouldnt dream of cooking.

Scallops would be great, unfortunatly she wont touch anything fishy.
