3 Father's Day Meal Ideas

Father's Day is just around the corner, so we've rounded up our top 3 meal ideas to serve up to the special guy in your life this Sunday.

1. Smashed Avocado on Toast

Living in Melbourne, Smashed Avo on toast is a weekend staple and a delicious brunch option to cook up on Father's Day. So, what's the secret to the perfect smashed avo? Using ripe avocados of course. When shopping, look for avocados that are dark in colour that feel soft to touch (but are not mushy) - that's when you know they are ripe and ready-to-eat. Smear your smashed avocado over toasted sourdough and top with bacon and feta for the ultimate Sunday brekky.

2. Surf and Turf with Garlic Cream Sauce

Whether you know it as 'surf and turf' or 'reef and beef' there's no denying that fish and steak are a match made in heaven. Furthermore, this ideal celebratory meal can be adapted to suit your Dad's taste. For the 'surf' portion, choose from prawns, scallops, lobster tails or crab legs. For the 'turf' side of things, choose Dad's favourite steak cut, whether it be rib eye, rump, T-bone or eye fillet. Once the dish has been arranged to your liking, add a generous pour of garlic cream sauce for the finishing touch.

3. Chocolate Lava Cake

What's the best way to finish off any Father's Day meal? With chocolate of course! And a serving of gooey, warm Chocolate Lava Cake rarely disappoints. Featuring a rich, molten centre, this decadent dessert is sure to impress the father figure in your life. Add a dusting of icing sugar to this rich and fudgy chocolate treat along with fresh berries and a scoop of double cream for extra presentation points.
