Stay In: Foodie Fun at Home
Cooking together can be just as romantic as dining out (and sometimes even tastier). If you’re staying in this year, why not try making Lobster Wellington? It’s fancy enough to feel special but simple enough that you won’t need a culinary degree. Here’s how to do it:
Lobster Wellington Recipe
This dish features succulent lobster tails wrapped in flaky puff pastry, buttery spinach, and herbed mushrooms. It’s the kind of meal that says, “I love you,” without requiring hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 4 raw lobster tails (8oz each)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach (10oz), thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- Zest of half a lemon
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 4oz sliced mixed mushrooms
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Boil water in a small pot and pour it over the lobster tails in a heat-safe bowl until shells turn orange (about 4 minutes). Remove shells and insert skewers into the tails so they stay flat while cooking.
- Sauté spinach with melted butter, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Cook mushrooms with thyme until soft and slightly browned.
- Roll out puff pastry sheets into squares. Spread spinach mixture evenly on each sheet, sprinkle mushrooms on top, then place a lobster tail at one end and roll it up like a burrito. Brush with egg wash for that golden crust!
- Bake for about 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Slice into pieces and serve with lemon wedges.
Pair your Lobster Wellington with a crisp white wine or champagne for the ultimate at-home Valentine’s dinner.
