CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE

Classic Cheese Fondue image

This traditional Swiss fondue - the sort you might have encountered in an Alpine ski lodge circa 1972 - calls for an equal amount of Gruyère cheese, for its depth of flavor, and Emmenthaler, for its supple texture; a shot of kirsch, for its cherry aroma and alcoholic oomph; and a little garlic, for bite. It takes all of 15 minutes, and will emerge as magnificently creamy, smooth and velvety as custard, but with a funky, deep flavor that dazzlingly enriches anything you dunk in the pot: bread cubes, apple slices, clementine sections, nuggets of salami, pretzels, tofu. It is even marvelous spooned onto a romaine lettuce salad in place of dressing.

Ingredients

1 small garlic clove, halved
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound Gruyère cheese, grated
3/4 pound Emmenthaler, raclette or Appenzeller cheese, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 to 2 tablespoons kirsch (optional)
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste (optional)
Crusty bread cubes; steamed broccoli or cauliflower; carrot, celery or fennel sticks; cubed apple; seedless grapes; clementine sections; cubed salami, soppressata or kielbasa; roasted chestnuts and/or dried apricots, for serving.

Steps:

Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cheeses with cornstarch. Add a handful at a time to simmering wine, stirring until first handful melts before adding next. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Add kirsch, if using, and heat until bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and other accompaniments. (See variations below)

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)
1/2 cup shredded Colby cheese (2 oz)
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1/2 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic white wine
2 tablespoons dry sherry, kirsch or nonalcoholic white wine
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Several dashes of red pepper sauce
1/2 loaf (1-lb size) French bread, cut into 1-inch pieces, or vegetable dippers

Steps:

In medium bowl, toss cheeses and cornstarch until cheese is coated.
Rub garlic on bottom and side of fondue pot, heavy 1-quart saucepan or skillet; discard garlic. Add wine. Heat over simmer setting or low heat just until bubbles rise to surface (do not boil).
Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wooden spoon over low heat, until melted. (Stir gently. Vigorous stirring may cause the Swiss cheese to become stringy.) Stir in sherry, ginger and pepper sauce.
Keep warm over simmer setting. If prepared in saucepan or skillet, pour into a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and keep warm over low heat.
Spear bread with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in small amount of heated wine.

AUTHENTIC SWISS FONDUE

Authentic Swiss Fondue image

A few years ago, while travelling through Freiburg in Switzerland, I tasted the best cheese fondue that I had ever had or have since. Unlike most of the uninspiring fondues that I had sampled before, this was a delightful blend of subtle flavours that complimented each other perfectly. I have prepared this dish a dozen or so times now to family and friends and it has never let me down.
