Love is in the Air: Romantic Dinner with Valentine’s Meal Deal by Asda

This Valentine’s Day, we enjoyed each other’s company with a cosy night in, which started with a delicious dinner, followed by a great movie. We tried Valentine’s Day Meal Deal from Asda, where you can pick one main for two, two side dishes and one dessert for two, from their Extra Special Collection, all for only £10!

There are several main courses to choose from: beef bourguignon, duck leg confit with plum soy sauce, beef in red wine with herb dumplings, coq au vin, salmon en croute and more.

We picked Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks in Redcurrant and Port Sauce for our main course, a meltingly tender lamb in a very tasty red wine and redcurrants enriched with honey and a dash of port.

We picked Chunky Chips with Sea Salt and Lightly Crushed Carrot & Butternut Squash as our side dishes. The thick cut chips were oven roasted until golden and fluffy, lightly seasoned with a sprinkling of sea salt, the chips were very tasty!

We also enjoyed the tender carrots, butternut squash and sweet potato gently crushed with lashings of thick double cream, rich Channel Island butter and a sprinkle of seasoning, creamy and tasty.

We finished our meal with a Hot Belgian Chocolate and Salted Caramel Dessert, an indulgent Belgian chocolate sponge served in a pool of luxurious caramel sauce prepared with fine sea salt and muscavado sugar, it was full of flavour and a great ending to our romantic meal.

We thoroughly enjoyed Valentine’s Day Dine in for Two from Asda, the dishes are very tasty and easy to cook following the instructions. The chips were in the oven for the 30 minutes, while the lamb shanks simmered in the hob for the same time, and the carrot and squash mash was heated up in the microwave in a few minutes.

Valentine’s Day Dine in for Two is valid until Sunday 16th February, so pop in-store this weekend to prepare a delicious meal for your loved one.
