We went out for our Valentine's Day dinner the day before Valentine's Day. We decided to have a nice dinner in on Valentine's Day. We decided on crab cakes, grilled asparagus & rice pilaf with thyme. It was easy & delicious! I made the crab cakes the same way I posted about several months ago.
Grilled Asparagus
Ingredients
Asparagus
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Directions
Wash asparagus thoroughly & break or cut off woody part of stem. Lightly drizzle with olive oil & sprinkle salt & pepper over the spears. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. I used a cast iron grill pan because I love the flavor it gives off. You could also use whatever type of indoor grill you have or an outdoor grill.
Rice Pillaf with Thyme
Ingredients
-1 T butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 c white rice
- 1 t thyme
Directions
Melt butter, add onions & season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is softened. Add broth & bring to a boil. Stir in rice & thyme. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover & cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
I got this original recipe from here. The only thing I changed was the amount of thyme I used. I doubled it. Josh hates bland rice & I love the taste of thyme. It turned out great.
