One girl, let's call her Lenochka, decided to cook a romantic candlelit dinner for her husband. The children were sent to spend the night with their mother. I bought champagne and made a light snack - several types of canapes. She put on a beautiful dress, high heels, lace underwear, did makeup and hair. In a word, prepared. As soon as her husband returned from work, she lit candles and invited him to the table. The husband quickly ate the prepared sandwiches and washed down with champagne.

Further events did not develop according to the planned scenario. Having de alt with light snacks, the husband looked at Lenochka with a hungry look and with one simple question completely killed all the romance: “What do we have for dinner?”. I had to get the chicken out of the freezer and peel the potatoes.

Familiar scenario? If so, please accept our condolences. If you are just getting readyromantic dinner by candlelight, learn from the mistakes of others. In any case, this article will help you plan an almost perfect evening. Our heroine made only two mistakes, but they irrevocably ruined such a carefully planned candlelight dinner.

The first mistake is the wrong time. Romantic tete-a-tete is scheduled on a working day. Under no circumstances should this be done. You are both tired, at work there were conflicts with superiors or subordinates. At home, a reflex is triggered - eat tightly, watch TV and fall asleep. Before going to bed, quick sex is possible. If unbearable, it is better to go to a restaurant, and then walk a little. Make it feel like a date.

Mistake two - too light food. Candlelight dinner should not be too light or too heavy. Otherwise, in the first case, a man in search of “what to eat” will climb into the refrigerator, and in the second, he will simply go to bed.

And at this stage we come to the main question. Candlelight dinner, what to cook?

Food should be light but satisfying. Ask your partner what he doesn't eat. For example, some do not like liver, while others are disgusted by fried zucchini or eggplant. Nuts, honey or peaches can cause anaphylactic shock in allergy sufferers. So don't forget to ask your partner about allergies.

All dishes should be portioned so that nothing has to be cut or broken by hand. We don't need fat hands. Formatting and presentation also play an important role. We offer to cooka hearty, but not heavy, three-course candlelit dinner.

Chicken or fish is good as a main course. It's quick and delicious.

If you decide to cook chicken, then you will need 2 chicken fillets with a total weight of 500-600 grams, spices for chicken, you can get by with s alt and pepper, onion, kiwi, orange, 50 grams of butter and the same amount of sunflower, flour.

Chicken breasts carefully beat off, sprinkle with spices and roll in flour. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and fry the fillet on all sides. The fire is moderately medium, the frying time is about 10 minutes. While the fillet is fried, take another pan, put butter in it, chop the onion in half rings and fry over low heat until transparent, squeeze the juice of one orange into the pan, throw finely chopped kiwi there. Reduce the fire to a minimum and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Put the meat and fruit sauce in a small saucepan, add half a glass of water and simmer for another 5 minutes, but no more. The finished meat is very tender, with exotic notes. Serve with fluffy rice or mashed potatoes as a side dish. Red or rose wine is served with the bird.

Serve the chicken with a simple vegetable salad. Cut cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, a little greens, s alt, pepper, add a couple of drops of lemon or orange juice and season with vegetable oil.

You can also prepare a more complex salad dressed with mayonnaise. I offer a salad of crab sticks and corn.

For 2 servings you will need: crab sticks or boiled squid - 200grams, half a can of canned corn, 2 boiled eggs, 1 fresh cucumber, green onions, 2 tablespoons of friable rice. Finely chop all the ingredients, season with mayonnaise and s alt.

Serve salads in separate salad bowls. Markets sell special waffle baskets. You can lay out a plate of lettuce leaves, and put baskets of salad on them.

In order for no one to go hungry, prepare sliced \u200b\u200bfrom several varieties of cheese. It goes well with wine.

And the control shot is dessert.

For dessert, fruit and chocolate will do. But if you want, you can serve ice cream. Buy an ice cream and an orange. Pour the ice cream into bowls and place in the freezer. Throw a piece of butter into a clean, dry frying pan, send a tablespoon of sugar there and put on a small fire. Remove the zest from the orange and cut in half. Squeeze juice from one half, peel the other and cut into pieces. When the mass in the pan begins to boil, add the finely chopped zest. Then add orange juice. Stir vigorously and bring to a boil. It's time for the orange slices. Boil for a couple of minutes and turn off. You should get a moderately thick sauce. Pour warm sauce with pieces of fruit over ice cream.

It may be that after two courses, cold cuts and wine, the queue for ice cream will not come. Dont be upset. It's just that his finest hour has not yet come. If the candlelight dinner reaches its goal, youwill need reinforcements.
