What do these sexy ingredients have in common? Aphrodisiac Fooood!

Chef Chris whips up a delightful combination of au naturel love-inspiring ingredients for a super suppertime.

Starter: Cold Marcona almonds, figs and garlic soup

Mains:

• Coq Au vin – extremely romantic red wine stewed chicken from Burgundy, extremely moist and tender with slow cooking in a Dutch oven, slips of the bone, slides off your tongue.

• Pastele al Caldero. A sexy recipe from Puerto Rico. Slow simmered pork encased in a pastry of plantain, yam and pumpkin mash. Wrapped in banana leaf for extra flavor and innuendo.

• Moringa Lamb. Moringa, an ancient aphrodisiac herb known to enhance performance (ahem..)

• Cashew and pistachio fried rice with parsley and coriander and a touch of saffron!

Salad & Sides:

• Rose Petal and Pomegranate Salad

• Hummus - made from garbanzo beans, is cited in “The Perfumed Garden” to give men “strength to pleasure a thousand women”!

Dessert:

• Tiramisu - Ingenious Venetian courtesans allegedly invented the delicious treat as an aphrodisiac to boost their clientele’s staying power.

So where’s the Ginseng in all this?
