SWISS FONDUE WITH 4 CHEESES - AN AUTHENTIC RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut off all rinds from each cheese.
• Cut all of the cheeses into cubes.
• Place cubes in a medium pot (preferably ceramic like Le Creuset) and put on the stovetop just below medium heat.
• Pour the white wine over the cheese in the pot.
• Crush the 4 cloves of garlic into the pot.
• Stir the pot, turning up the heat SLIGHTLY if necessary to melt. Remember that the cheese takes a while to melt, and if you turn up the heat too high in a fit of impatience then you will scorch the bottom of the cheese and have black chunks floating around in it -- so be patient and keep stirring and folding so it does not burn the bottom!
• Fold the cheese as it progressively melts so that the cubes on top can contact the heated bottom.
• Once the cheese has fully melted, assess the consistency to determine whether to raise the heat. If the cheese has fully melted, but is VERY thick and hard to stir, turn up the heat a bit (constantly stirring and folding) to melt it further. It should be creamy but not stiff.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the Kirschwasser and the cornstarch together until smooth.
• When the cheese has reached the fully melted ideal, and it is easy to stir, add the Kirschwasser and cornstarch mixture and mix it in well. The cornstarch thickens the cheese and helps it all to coagulate so you don't have the cheese oils sitting in pools on top of the cheese.
• Stir in the nutmeg.
• The fondue should be well blended, creamy, and thick but not stiff. Test by dipping a cube of bread -- If the cheese does not stick or soak into the bread then you may need to turn the heat up, being careful not to burn the bottom.
• On the otherhand, if it is too thin, be careful not to add too much cornstarch or else you will get stuck with a stiff fondue that is hard to dip into. Try lowering the heat or adding slightly more cornstarch (mixed with Kirschwasser or water first).
• When the ideal consistency is reached, place the pot over the flame on the tabletop and serve.
• Bon appetit!

FOUR CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steaming, but don't let it boil or form a skin.
• While the milk heats, melt the butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan on low heat.
• Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth roux.
• Continue to cook and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes to thoroughly cook the flour.
• Increase heat to medium, and whisk the hot milk into the roux in a thin, steady stream.
• Continue to cook until the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly.
• Don't stop whisking, since white sauces can burn in an instant.
• Lower the heat, add the cheesed, mustard, and sherry, and whisk until the cheeses melt.
• Using a double boiler or a heat diffuser, gently cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add salt to taste.
• Enjoy!

FOUR CHEESE FONDUE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a gallon size ziplock baggie combine all four cheeses and the flour. Shake well.
• 2. In a large non stick pot or a fondue pot add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
• 3. Add in Garlic, stir well.
• 4. Add in cheese/flour mixture slowly and stir but avoid stirring in a circle. I try to "stir" in a cross shape going up the pot and across the pot with the spoon- this will keep the cheese from forming into a ball and keeping it smooth. Cook until fully melted, watch it carefully to avoiding burning.

FOUR CHEESE FONDUE WITH ASSORTED DIPPERS

Steps:

• Add the cheeses and cornstarch to a medium-size bowl. Using clean hands, toss the cheese with cornstarch to combine.
• Add the wine, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder and a pinch of nutmeg to a fondue pot or a heavy bottom ceramic saucepan. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually add the cheeses in cup-size increments, being sure to let the cheese completely melt before adding more. Avoid over-stirring, as it could make the fondue stringy. Add salt to taste.
• Keep warm in a fondue pot and serve immediately. Use fondue forks or wooden skewers to dip dippers into fondue.

VEGGIE PASTA WITH CHEESY FONDUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the pasta and cook according to pack instructions. Trim the broccoli, cut into shorter lengths if desired, and add to the pasta pan 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, put the garlic and wine in another pan and bring gently to the boil. Blend the cornstarch to a smooth paste with 1 tbsp cold water.
• With the wine over a very gentle heat add the cheese, a little at a time, stirring until each batch is melted. This will take a few minutes. Stir in the cornstarch paste and cook gently for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to add a little more wine to get a smooth consistency. Add pepper, then taste and add salt if necessary. Keep warm over a very low heat.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the tomatoes and cook over a fairly high heat until starting to soften.
• Drain the pasta and broccoli, toss with the tomatoes and tip into a warm serving dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and serve with hot garlic bread.
