The appetizer in this menu allows you to get your hands on a shared baked artichoke with a spicy dip, or, you'll sit close together and lean over a steaming mushroom fondue. For the main course, risotto is simmered in white wine, and to top it all off, champagne turns into a sweet dessert in this sorbet recipe. Cook it with love, and enjoy your meal together.
1. Appetizer: Roasted Artichoke with Chipotle Aioli
For this appetizer, the sweet tangy richness of the artichoke is complimented by the smoky flavor of the chipotle aioli dip. You'll share a single artichoke, gently pulling off each leaf, one by one, leaving only the heart, which is to be shared. What could be more romatic than artichokes?2. Appetizer: Mushroom Fondue
Fondue is perfect for a romantic meal for two. This mushroom fondue has a cheesy flavor and will warm your heart as well as your palette. Some dipper suggestions: whole mushrooms, broccoli, bread, cooked and halved baby potatoes, flavored tofu, Tofurkey vegetarian sausage slices.
