This is a really quick cheese fondue with a hint of aniseed. Serve with crunchy crudités and fresh bread (baguette).
Ingredients
- 10 oz white wine
- 7 oz Old Amsterdam, grated
- 7 oz Gruyère, grated
- 7 oz Emmenthaler, grated
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 shot of Pernod (1.1 oz)
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- pinch of nutmeg
- white pepper
- a few tarragon leaves, chopped
Preparation
Pour the wine into a cast iron pan and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the cheese and allow it to melt on low heat. Grate the clove of garlic above the pan and stir it into the cheese and wine mixture. Make a paste with the Pernod and the corn flour, stirring until smooth. Add this to the cheese mixture, season with white pepper and nutmeg and let it simmer a few minutes to thicken. Pour into a fondue pan and sprinkle finely chopped tarragon on top. Serve with bread and crudités.
