Cheese Fondue Recipe Jamie Oliver Food

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Grate all of the cheeses. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.
• In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg.
• Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!

MEAT FONDUE

Steps:

• Prepare your sauces (see below) in advance, and put in little bowls around the fondue burner, along with the meat, bread and salad. Season the meat.
• When your guests are ready to eat, fill your fondue pan half-full of vegetable oil and heat on the hob until it's hot, but not smoking. You're aiming for around 190C, but if you haven't got a thermometer, throw in a cube of bread - when it takes about 30 secs to brown, it's ready.
• Put the fondue burner on the table carefully so that it's stable, then, following the manufacturer's instructions, light the flame and put the pan on top.
• Give each guest a fondue fork for dunking the meat in the hot oil. It should take 25-30 secs for rare, 30-35 secs for medium and 45-60 secs for well done. When the meat is cooked, dip it into the sauces, and pile it onto the bread. If you have some raw king prawns to cook in the fondue, they work really well too. CORRECTION NOTICEPlease be informed that in the July issue of BBC Good Food Magazine, it incorrectly stated that the temperature of the oil in this recipe should be 375C, the correct temperature of the oil should be 375 Fahrenheit or 190C.
