Valentines Day is such a special day? it?s full of flowers, chocolates, stuffed teddies, lingerie and jewellery. What?s the common factor? It?s all girls stuff!
This year, we say that the boys should get treated too, and we all know that the way to a man?s heart is through his stomach. And why not feature a few aphrodisiacs while you?re at it? Figs, almonds, asparagus, avocado, chilli, pine nuts and of course oysters are considered top foods to get you in the mood for love, as are chocolate and champagne 
Otherwise, you can?t go wrong with treating him to his favourite ?dude food?? so a fancy burger, steak, home made pizza or anything bbq?d is sure to melt his heart.
So ladies? get cooking! And don?t forget that just as your man should treat you to a bunch of flowers from time to time, ?just because?, you can also treat him to a special dinner anytime, just to say ?I love you?.
Fig balsamic BBQ pork, asparagus with spicy brown butter and almonds
Serves 2-4
- 1 fillet of pork
- ? cup Fig Balsamic Glaze from the Saucy Sisters by Sammy and Bella (www.thesaucysisters.com)
- ? cup flaked almonds
- ? long red chilli
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- ? lemon, juiced
- 2 bunches asparagus
- salt and pepper
Remove pork from fridge 30 minutes before cooking and marinate with ? the Fig Balsamic Glaze. Allow meat to come to room temperature. Preheat your bbq grill to a low-medium heat. Grill the pork for about 10 minutes, turning several times and brushing with remaining glaze throughout cooking. When done, remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes covered with aluminium foil. Don?t be scared to cook your pork medium, a little bit of pink is good, especially for a cut like the fillet which tends to dry out if overcooked.
In a non stick fry pan, dry toast the almond flakes, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant. Set aside and leave to cool.
Finely chop the chilli, removing seeds and pith if you prefer less spice. Melt butter in the same pan on medium and add chilli. Cook until the butter begins to turn a nut brown colour then remove from heat and pour in lemon juice to help stop the cooking process. Season with salt and pepper.
Snap off the woody stems by bending the asparagus. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and blanch asparagus for 30 seconds, then refresh in cold water. Toss the asparagus in the burned butter sauce.
To serve, slice rested pork on an angle into 1.5cm slices. Arrange asparagus on the plate, top with pork slices, sprinkle over the almond flakes and drizzle over any remaining burned butter sauce.
