Snacks for Dinner aka Apero Hour (not girl dinner) | Home Movies with Alison Roman

  • When the vegetables are abundant, it's too hot to cook, and the friends are down to hang… it’s Apero Hour. Apero Hour, in the traditional Italian manner is the meal before dinner, but it can also be dinner. Apero Hour is any hour, and it can also last more than an hour. While it can be nearly anything you like, I enjoy representing categories as such: a dip, a nut, an olive, a fish, an cheese and vegetables. In this video we're making The Dip (creamy, spicy, tangy), Slightly Sticky Walnuts, Spiced, Marinated Olives, all set out with an melange of vegetables, delightful anchovies and some hard, salty cheese. To drink, we're skipping the traditional spritz and going for a version of a Paper Plane, one of my favorite whiskey cocktails (I’m using Makers 46) that's got amaro for sweetness, aperol for bitterness (and that COLOR) and lemon for refreshing tartness. It doesn’t disappoint and neither does Apero Hour.
    Thank you to Maker’s Mark for sponsoring this week’s episode. We continue to love your whiskey and find endless uses for it, all year long- including in this very exceptional, wildly refreshing Paper Plane (on Ice). To get your own bottle, head to makersmark.com/alisonroman

    I have made this dip a few times for friends and family. It is ABSOLUTELY delicious with grilled asparagus (my least favourite veg but love it with this, crisp tender btw with a drizzle of oil, s&p and a squeeze of lemon juice, don't over cook and leave at room temp after grilling), raw veg, some crisped up tortilla chips (oven bakes with smoky paprika on top). A deceptively simple yet complex dish.

My mother said that there's something very nurturing about bowls...it means you are serving a bounty to your family and friends, with care and love. Love that reference. Also, labneh is one of my faves and so easy to make! Strain some full fat Greek yogurt for a few hours (or overnight) through cheesecloth, add some fresh lemon juice, salt, and mix well. Drizzle a little good olive oil on top, and sprinkle some Za'atar. Delish!

    How fancy can Alison get? Genuinely want to see that. With trying but making it look effortless. Because we all know Alison does try to do her recipes as nothing fancy but simple, elegant, pure ingredients. However I’d love to see the opposite of that: fancy with effort but still semelees and with Alison’s trademarks. Or take us with you to your favorite restaurants. 🙀🙀🙀 like an Anthony Bordain moment walking more in the streets and having drinks just as transparent as possible.

    I think the disclaimer was likely added so 1) as not to confuse with the trend, but 2) to not be associated with the dialogue about the trend. Which when you look further into the context the idea of “girl dinner” feeds into the societal expectations of single women vs married ones.

    Absolutely love the "disclaimer with chewing gum". It'll keep me happy for weeks. Apropos of the Apero, ever since I was a little kid, my idea of a fun meal is just a whole bunch of horses doovers. But since they usually require an oven and it's triple-digit temps until October, how's about gazpacho and any other cold soups for a future episode or two? It's rotten and uncomfortable to think about hot food out here in the Valley...

      @ terenzo50 I'm with you - shut off the oven in May and don't use it again until late October. This is what I call a "grazing" dinner. Alison's is casual perfection. I sm not that orgsnized - I usually go overboard on prepping vegetables and then make a mountain of hummus.
      This also works well for Thanksgiving - set it up outside the kitchen around noon so nobody starves while you're making dinner and those cooking can pop in and out of the room for sustenance. It's essentially a five hour cocktail party before dinner.
