Birthdays aside, Father’s Day is the one day of the year it’s all about dad. Never ones to skimp on the good stuff, we saw this as an opportunity for you to spoil him with the treats he adores.
Here are the ultimate recipes you’ll need to show your old man some Father’s Day love.
Black Pudding Scotch Eggs
These quintessentially British eggs make for a perfect starter. Sprinkle them with coarsely-ground black pepper to compliment the flavours of the pork mince, black pudding and soft-centred yolks. Dad will be egg-static with your efforts!
Starter: Black Pudding Scotch EggsBalsamic Steak and Mushrooms
Anything involving steak has got to be a hit on Father’s Day. In this case, it’s juicy flank steak marinated in sharp balsamic vinegar and served with bacon-sautéed mushrooms. Serve this as a main course and he’ll remember just how great it was when it's time to buy your next birthday present – but don't tell him we told you that.
