Cheese

 

I just came across a really good recipe for Cheese Fondue on kayotic.com. Fondue was very popular in the 70s & 80s but seems to be making a come-back. It is kind-of fun and you can not only do cheese fondue but you can do chocolate or even put oil in an electric fondue pot and cook meat in it - or have all three going at the same time!

Beer Cheese Fondue

Source: kayotic.com

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
pinch salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/2 can beer - (don’t drink the rest just yet)
2 tsp adobo sauce
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 cup Gruyère - (or mix it with another cheese)
1 garlic clove
1/3 onion

Slice the onion. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the cut-side all over the inside of the fondue pan.
Heat the butter and cook the onion for 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the flour, the mustard powder and cook for 2 minutes. Add the worcestershire sauce and to spice it up a bit, I add 2 tsp adobo sauce.
Slowly pour in the beer and stir vigorously. It will be a thick sauce now. Melt in the cheese. You can use all Gruyère, like I did, or mix it with sharp cheddar or Gouda.
If it’s too thick, add some more beer. Season with a little salt to taste, and simmer until it’s steaming hot.
Transfer the cheese to the fondue pan, light that little candle underneath and you’re all set.
