Cheese fondue
Looking for something delicious and different to cook for dinner? Try this simple old-school favourite.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 2/3 cups gruyere cheese, grated
- 1 2/3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup mascarpone
- 1 to 2 tablespoons kirsch
- Wood-fired bread, toasted or chargrilled, cut into pieces
Method:
- Place wine and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook for five to six minutes until reduced by half. Add gruyere and cheddar and melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth and combined.
- Meanwhile, brush bread with oil and chargrill until crisp and golden.
- When you're ready to serve, stir the mascarpone into the fondue, add the kirsch to taste and enough boiling water to make a loose, smooth sauce.
Note: As well as bread you might want to also offer other things for dipping such as prawns or broccoli.
