Packington Free Range’s recipe for Chicken Fillets Stuffed with Taleggio & Basil Wrapped in Parma Ham Salad makes a quick and easy Valentine’s meal with a twist

Nottingham, UK, February 04, 2012 - (PressReleasePoint) - Whether it’s for that special someone or in attempt to impress a new Valentine, a romantic meal for two is often the order of the day on February 14th. While Oysters and champagne are recognised as foods of love, more unusual ingredients could be on the menu this Valentine’s Day.

Packington Free Range’s (http://www.packingtonfreerange.co.uk/) recipe for Chicken Fillets Stuffed with Taleggio & Basil Wrapped in Parma Ham Salad (http://www.packingtonfreerange.co.uk/pip-and-sals-kitchen/chicken-fillet...) contains some unexpected aphrodisiacs in the form of raspberries and basil.

Research has shown basil to stimulate the sex drive and boost fertility. A hint of basil instantly gives food a delicious Italian twist – perhaps why Italians are famously romantic?! The raspberries, found in a salad of rocket, nectarines, avocado and tomatoes, are the colour of love, and the high vitamin C content works to stimulate the central nervous system and induce the sexual appetite.

Deceptively simple to make, this dish will prove that food really might be the way to the heart this Valentine’s Day. Taking only 20 minutes to prepare, this dish still leaves plenty of time to get ready for Valentine’s evening, even if it is being cooked after a day at work (as this year’s Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday).
