Our ‘Must Try’ Springtime Lodge Dinner Recipes
- Caprese Salad – Caprese salad is a classic Italian dish that celebrates the flavours of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. To make this simple yet elegant salad, begin by slicing ripe tomatoes and mozzarella cheese into circles. Arrange them alternately on a serving platter, tucking fresh basil leaves between the slices for added freshness. Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the flavours.
- Lemon and Garlic Prawn Pasta – This is a simple yet indulgent dish that’s bursting with flavour. To make this delicious pasta, start by cooking your pasta according to the packet. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant. Add prawn to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, before stirring in lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley for a bright and zesty sauce. Toss the cooked pasta with the prawn mixture, coating it in the lemon garlic butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Honey and Garlic Glazed Salmon – This mouthwatering dish combines sweet and savoury flavours with tender, flaky salmon. To prepare this meal, preheat your oven and line a tray with baking paper. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a glaze. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray and brush the glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Spring Vegetable Risotto – This is a comforting and flavourful dish that highlights the wonder of seasonal produce. To prepare this creamy risotto, start by sauteing diced shallots and minced garlic in butter. Arborio rice and cook until lightly toasted, then deglaze with white wine for added flavour. Gradually add vegetable broth, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and tender. Stir in blanched asparagus and peas for a pop of colour and freshness. Finish the risotto with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken – This is a light and flavourful dish that’s perfect for spring. Begin by marinating chicken breasts in a mixture of lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with citrus and herb flavours, before grilling it for around six to eight minutes on each side. Serve the grilled chicken with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added colour and enjoy the tender, juicy flavours.
