Sunday Apero
Phase 2 Begins, Let’s Eat!
Hallelujah, you can now have 5 visitors in one day!
In Singapore, we are now in Phase 2. After 3 months of lockdown, I was super excited to have friends over again.
We started at 3pm, which is the perfect time to get a little boozy at home, watch the sunset and still have the night to carry on with any other plans (for me that was walking the dog with my partner and then we ordered pizza).
Love a colourful veggie and flower filled table!
Not going to lie, I was a little stressed in the kitchen cooking all the below. I did the dessert in the morning so I could leave it in the fridge and then started prep and cooking from around 1pm.
We Ate
-
Basil Pesto Hummus with Pita
-
Roasted Eggplants with Couscous (I added some Za’atar to the couscous this time)
-
Smashed Carrots (I forgot the Pistachio Coriander Pesto whoops)
-
Roasted Pumpkin with Caramelised Lentils and Parsley
-
Baby Spinach with Pickled Dates and Red Onions (Ottolenghi Recipe from Jerusalem)
-
Roasted Baby Tomatoes with Greek Yoghurt (Ottolenghi Recipe from Simple)
We Drank
-
Aperols (Tip: Make a jug, it’s easier to serve).
-
Rose
Menu ( Side note: Also just discovered I can write on the kitchen wall, so cool).
Basically all my Ottolenghi and Pinterest dreams on one table
My new favourite dip: Basil Pesto Hummus.
These gorgeous girls ❤️
For music, I have a few favourites which I discovered in lockdown. We usually have Matoma playing in the house, he makes you feel like you’re in a day club (not a rave). He just has a great energy about him! I played these sets:
It was a great afternoon and I can’t wait to do it more often!
Cooking is a BIG effort, I won’t deny that. But Nonna Lizzie had been waiting all lockdown to cook and talk. So the 3 hour prep was worth it (1 hour in the morning for Caramel Slice, 2.5 hours after lunch for the other dishes).
Also, my dress is from Winona you can get it here on sale!
Love,
Nonna Lizzie.
