Many people would like to create a menu for the party of lovers, but with practical and quick solutions. Now, if there is one feature that however should not be underestimated in a Valentine’s Day menu, even if we choose an easy Valentine’s Day menu like the one I propose below, it is its lightness.

A heavy and too caloric menu risks turning the after dinner into an evening in bed… with the plaid and Netflix.

With a stomach too full, getting involved in other activities becomes… difficult.
Our body if we eat things that are too caloric or heavy to digest, directs the energy into the intestine to dispose of them. This results in a sense of slackness that we often confuse with sleepiness.
And the romantic evening goes to be blessed.
But how, and the combination of food and eros? Well, you need to be careful: the right foods in the right quantities ignite eros. The wrong foods risk ruining everything!

Here you will find an easy Valentine’s Day menu that is specially designed to awaken the senses but is also light. Not only will it take nothing to make it happen, but in the end the romantic after dinner will be even more stimulating.
We see it in two versions. Seafood and vegetarian.

EASY VALENTINE’S DAY MENU: FISH MENU

Starter

Salmon and ricotta mousse.
In a blender, blend 100 grams of cow’s milk ricotta (or velvety tofu) with a teaspoon of skim or soy yogurt and 70 grams of Scottish smoked salmon, a pinch of pepper, a handful of parsley or dill and a little nutmeg. Spread the mixture on two slices of toasted rye wedges and garnish with fresh currants or lemon wedges. Or, spread it on slices of Belgian endive. Kcal per serving: 140 (220 with bread).
If you want to overdo it, pair this appetizer with one or two oysters each, accompanied by Tabasco sauce or lemon. Zinc helps eros a lot.

Quick and unique fish dish.

If you want to finish with dessert and plan something to drink during dinner, skip the carbohydrate-based first course and concentrate on a single dish after the appetizer.
I recommend these squid stuffed with chickpea puree that you can prepare directly in the pan.

Alternatively, here are some fish balls that you can make with crab meat, natural tuna or natural mackerel already cooked and canned in doses of 80 grams per drained weight.

Combine them with 120 grams of boiled and well mashed potatoes (not blended!), A tablespoon of capers or pitted olives in pieces, chopped parsley, a teaspoon of oil, one of pecorino (optional), salt and pepper as required.

Make 4 meatballs, pass them quickly in the breadcrumbs and cook them in a baking tray lined with parchment paper at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Accompany them with this light mayonnaise that is perfect for fish dishes, as well as clever and foolproof. And with boiled asparagus or artichoke hearts sautéed in a pan with a teaspoon of pine nuts, mint or parsley, a tablespoon of oil and white wine. Kcal for two meatballs and the side dish: 280.

Dessert: lava cake or light tiramisu

Final worthy of a light dinner, this chocolate cake is a light lava cake that is very simple to prepare: here you can find the recipe for 320 calories per pie, compared to 560 for the traditional version.

If you want something even simpler and more successful, however, this light tiramisu is not the classic with yogurt cream, you really like it because it is similar to the original but with 250 calories per serving. 

Total: You’ve got a 750 calorie max menu, to which you can add a glass or two of prosecco.
The equivalent of a margherita pizza, but it’s all a dinner and is very digestible.
Plus it’s super easy and you’ll make a great impression with your or your partner.
He will wonder how he managed to eat well and not feel the weight of the food!
