You don’t have to go to the fanciest restaurant in town to have a great time with your special someone! (But hey, we’re not stopping ya, that sounds fun too!) Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just the start of the weekend, make a romantic night extra special by cooking dinner at home together. Light a few candles, break out the wine glasses, and try one of these incredibly delicious recipes for dinner.
Tahini Thai Glazed Salmon
This recipe only takes 20 minutes, but will taste like you worked on it for hours! Take your time whipping up the creamy tahini and coconut milk based glaze while pan frying the salmon in toasted sesame oil and serve with fluffy jasmine rice and stir-fried veggies for a light and flavorful meal.
Wine Braised Eggplant & Pasta
The bright lemon tahini sauce harmonizes with white wine braised eggplant and cherry tomatoes for a dish bursting with flavor. You’ll be amazed this came from your kitchen and not a 5-star restaurant!
Tahini Miso Ramen
This just might be the best bowl of ramen we've ever had! The ultra-creamy broth is filled with savory, umami flavors. Add a drizzle of sriracha or chili crisp to really take it up a notch.
One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
Get your entree and side dish done all in one pan! Roasted potatoes and pan-fried chicken breasts come to life in the skillet with the addition of Mediterranean herbs, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Vegan Tahini Mushroom Risotto
No dish professes your love better than risotto. All that stirring is certainly a labor of love, but it’s well worth it! Mushrooms and tahini are a perfect pair and bring earthly umami flavors to this lusciously creamy dish.
Tahini Pesto Pasta
Tahini adds the nutty flavor any good pesto needs. Dress up your favorite pasta with this bright and herby sauce. The only thing that can make this dish better is some garlic bread on the side!
Mediterranean-Inspired Stuffed Eggplant
Israeli couscous and veggies infused with irresistible Mediterranean flavors are packed into roasted eggplant halves for a dish that’ll have you dreaming of your next get-away together!
Sheet-Pan Salmon with Green Beans, Potatoes, Olives, and Spicy Tahini
Ideal for a cozy, no-fuss date night. It’s vibrant, flavorful, and comes together on one pan, leaving you more time to sip wine and less time washing dishes. The spicy tahini sauce is the star of the show, adding a creamy, nutty kick that perfectly complements the tender salmon and roasted veggies.
Tahini Mushroom Pasta
Dream-worthy creamy tahini sauce over a bowl of hot pasta and sautéed mushrooms is *chef's kiss* perfection!
Roasted Cauliflower Pizza
