Valentine's Day Menu with Superfoods

The most romantic holiday of the year is coming: we reveal it to you lots of delicious and healthy recipes for a Valentine's Day menu... with superfoods!

Some people don't like Valentine's Day, while others wait for it with joy all year long. Since going out for dinner is still a little complicated due to the restrictions of the period, we suggest some truly spectacular and delicious dishes, to prepare at home and bring to the table to amaze your better half or, even better, to cook together.

Valentine's Apericena, a "super" touch to your aperitif

Starting your romantic evening with some appetizers is certainly a nice idea, even more so if it is a finger food original, colorful and rich in micronutrients, as well as flavor!

Soy and Maca Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon of NaturalBio Maca powder
• 50g of soy granules
• 1 medium steamed potato
• 150g steamed broccoli florets
• 125g of plain vegetable yogurt
• ½ lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil to taste
• Sunflower oil for frying

Procedure

Tasty fried balls, to be enjoyed dipped in a fresh yogurt sauce: and maca, as we know, is energizing and can add a “spicy” touch to your evening.

Simply add the cooked potato to a blender along with the soy granules and the maca; blend until you get a smooth mixture; if it is too soft, add a few spoonfuls of chickpea flour, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Wetting your hands with a little water, take a small amount of dough and form the meatballs. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the meatballs until they are golden brown; for a lighter result, you can cook them in the oven or in an air fryer.

Separately, prepare the sauce by combining the yogurt with the juice and zest of half a lemon, a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the meatballs, skewered on a toothpick if you like, with the previously steamed broccoli and the yogurt sauce for dipping!

An elegant and delicious first course, whether it's pasta or risotto

The main course is really super, why recommend it Sonia Peronaci : fresh homemade pasta with organic cocoa!

These cocoa strips , kneaded by hand and served with your favorite sauce, are as easy to make as they are tasty to taste. Here you see them proposed with a gorgonzola, pear and walnut sauce, but you can let your imagination run wild and create a vegan or, why not, spicy combination.

There  second recipe of a very elegant first course for Valentine's Day, always signed by Sonia, is the Sencha green tea risotto : delicate and refined, perfect paired with fish and a glass of bubbles.

Desserts and sweet treats based on superfoods

One leads to another: no, they are not the kisses of your lover, but ours Coconut and Manuka honey truffles !

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Natural Manuka HoneyMore
• 150g of Greek-style vegetable yogurt
• 30g coconut flour
• 15g of grated coconut
• Dried fruit grains (pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds) to decorate

Procedure

Preparing them is very simple, just mix the yogurt with the honey, add the coconut flour and the grated coconut and work with a spatula until you get a smooth mixture. Wet your hands with a little water and form little balls, which you will roll in the chopped dried fruit. Let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving... the advice is to make a lot of them, because they finish quickly!
