It can be harder to manage a night on the town for Valentine’s Day once you have tots, so when I was sent this recipe which works for both the day or love and Chinese New Year I wanted to share it as I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try and I’m a bit of a sucker for anything that combines the flavours of garlic and lemon. Yum!

If you try it let me know what you think, it sounds yummy! I wonder what they’d recommend for a wine or beer pairing?
