What if we brightened up autumn a little by organizing a warm and friendly aperitif? With beautiful seasonal products and gourmet recipes, stock up on ideas for fall verrines.
We want color
When the weather looks gloomy, there is nothing more festive than a colorful aperitif. This is good, mid-season is full of products in shimmering colors. Leeks for the white, spinach for the green, purple with figs and plums… Enough to compose a magnificent assortment of autumnal verrines.
Orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes are also beauty benefits. Rich in beta-carotene, their consumption will allow you to prolong your summer tan. All the more reason to offer them as an aperitif!
Play with textures
In autumn, vegetables lend themselves easily to soups and soups. However, liquid glasses can quickly bore your guests. So have fun with the textures by alternating the fondant, the crunchy, the sparkling…
In this little game, the individual crumble is as effective as it is delicious. We revisit it in a savory version with seasonal products. A few cubes of roasted squash will contrast with the crunch of a nut and pumpkin seed crumble dough. The leek/parmesan combination is also a safe bet in this area.
Another option, sprinkle your creams and purees with bacon or vegetable chips. This not only brings contrast, but also deliciousness.
More elaborate, you can try making a savory tiramisu. To do this, simply replace the spoon biscuits with parmesan shortbread and add a savory topping. Raw ham, beetroot, black pudding or mushrooms, it’s up to you to create your favorite combinations. As for the device, we obviously don’t sugarcoat it. On the other hand, you can add fresh or goat cheese to accentuate the salty side. It’s not very difficult and the result is well worth it.
Head for spices
To spice up your glasses and enhance your aperitif, focus on spices. Curry, chili pepper, cloves, cinnamon… Their warm aromas delicately enhance autumn fruits and vegetables. Admit that there is nothing better than a hint of ginger in a carrot soup to awaken the taste buds! You can also have fun combining savory and sweet with honey or maple syrup which work wonders with the sweet flavors of squash and sweet potato. And what about grilled bacon with maple syrup? If you’ve never tried it, this is your chance to try it.
We warned you, with these ideas for glasses, autumn will be festive.
