Excerpt
Classic Swiss Fondue
Emmentaler cheese, 1⁄2 lb, cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes
Gruyère cheese, 1⁄2 lb, cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes
cornstarch, 1 1⁄2 tbsp
garlic, 1 clove, halved lengthwise
dry white wine such as Alsatian Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc, 1 3⁄4 cups
kirsch or brandy, 2 tbsp (optional)
fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp
freshly grated nutmeg, pinch
Kosher salt
Accompaniments of your choice: crusty bread cubes, warmed cooked potato pieces, warmed cooked sausage slices, blanched thick asparagus spears
In a bowl, toss the Emmentaler and Gruyère cheeses with the cornstarch and set aside.
Rub the inside of a fondue pot with the cut sides of the garlic halves; discard the garlic. Pour the wine, kirsch (if using), and lemon juice into the pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually add the cheeses, a handful at a time, and stir gently until the mixture is creamy and the cheeses are completely melted. Stir in the nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding a little salt if needed.
When ready to serve, place the pot containing the hot fondue in its stand in the center of the table. Light the fuel burner according to the manufacturer’s instructions and set to low heat. Serve right away with fondue forks and the accompaniments for dipping.
