Spiced Leyden Fondue
This cumin-infused fondue is the perfect way to settle into fall.
Ingredients
1 Clove of garlic, halved
1/2 Lb. Spiced Leyden , grated
1/2 Lb. Appenzeller, grated
2/3 C. Grüner Veltliner (or other dry white wine), plus more as needed
1 Tbs. Flour
1 Tbs. Fresh lemon juice
Dash of cardamom
Dash of ground black pepper
Instructions
Rub the inside of a pot with the garlic; then discard the garlic.
In a large bowl, toss grated cheese with flour; mix well by hand so all of the cheese gets evenly coated. Set aside.
Pour wine into pot with lemon juice and set heat to low. Bring to a simmer and add grated cheese/flour mixture. Stir frequently until the cheese melts into a smooth, silky consistency. (You can add more wine as needed to change the consistency of the fondue; be sure to only a few tablespoons at a time and then stir.)
Once fondue is at your desired consistency, add a generous pinch each of pepper and cardamom. Stir gently to blend in spices and serve immediately. Serve at once. (Note: Be sure not to overcook the fondue or it will get stringy.)
