Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and that means romantic dinners for two are in order. Why not cook an elegant restaurant style dinner at home? With just a little romantic planning you can put together a great meal worthy of any five star chef.

An elegant meal that comes to mind when I think of fine dining is a plate of perfectly seared scallops. It always looks appealing and is surprisingly easy to prepare. It's what you serve with the scallops that makes the dish even more special. A delicious sauce and a special side can elevate a plate of scallops to new heights. This meal may look more complicated than it is, but it's very manageable to make.

Searing the scallops is the easiest part of this recipe and it only takes minutes. You'll want to have the pancakes and the butter sauce prepared a few minutes beforehand. If you know how to fry hash browns or latkes, then you won't find these celeriac pancakes difficult to make at all. The beurre blanc needs some elbow grease to make. But if you know how to whisk quickly, then you're all set. Enjoy this dinner for two with your special someone.
