Whether you have the budget available for going out to fancy restaurants or not you can still show your love and affection by cooking up a nice meal at home, if you are looking for some of the best mini dishes to impress your partner then continue reading for my suggestions.

 

Deli Selection

Putting together a snack plate with all of your favorite salads, cheeses, and other deli snacks is a great way to show that you have made an effort when the dish is in fact very simple. This would be a great starter or even as a main meal if you wanted something light whilst you were entertaining your partner. The great thing about a dish like this is that as long as you select a wide range of high-quality foods to include you are bound to have items that both you and your partner enjoy. There is not much cooking involved with making this dish either so if you are somebody who lives a busy lifestyle juggling work and childcare you will be glad to know that this is something that can be prepared in minutes.

Tapas

Tapas usually consists of multiple small dishes and the concept originated in Spain many years ago, like the deli starter I mentioned previously you can include many different mini dishes within your tapas selection to appeal to varying tastes. Your typical tapas will include small dishes such as Spanish tortillas, spiced olives, baked chorizo, and rice dishes but there really are no strict rules as to what you can include so you have an opportunity to get creative with this meal. This would be perfect for a romantic evening as nobody wants to eat a huge filling meal when you are entertaining guests and are looking to have a more relaxing time.

Chocolate Fondue

The ultimate dish for any romantic evening would have to be this very popular dessert of chocolate fondue, although it looks complicated there is a way that you can cheat things slightly to make the end result much tastier with less effort. Using a basic chocolate cake batter and inserting a few pieces of your favorite chocolate into the center before baking, you will be left with the perfect light sponge with runny melted chocolate inside to really get your taste buds excited. This mini dish would be delicious served with some fresh strawberries and cream and whether you have a sweet tooth or not I am sure you will enjoy it.

Hummus and Breadsticks

Another very basic dish that you can prepare with little time and effort required would be hummus and breadsticks, this dish can be as extravagant as you need it to be and would make the perfect healthy snack for a romantic evening in front of the TV. You could even take this dish further by making your own hummus using fresh chickpeas and serving alongside your favorite crackers and breadsticks. Making your hummus is not difficult with a basic recipe consisting simply of chickpeas and olive oil, you can add whatever seasoning and flavorings you want to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Chicken Wings

For those of you that are looking for a mini dish that packs a bit more flavor, you may want to go for something like chicken wings to impress your partner on your next planned romantic evening. Chicken wings are very versatile and you can do them in many different ways to suit whatever your preference and spice level is. Chicken wings are a great appetizer or can be done in a larger portion for the main meal, they are a big crowd-pleaser but if you are unsure of whether your date likes spicy foods or not I would recommend doing a milder option just in case they are not lovers of spice as this could ruin the whole meal.
