Landana Jersey Cheese Fondue

Preparation time: 25 min.

Ingredients:

• • 400 g Jersey cheese grated
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Black pepper and nutmeg to taste

  Side Dishes:

  • 1 broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 4 carrots
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber
  • 200 g grapes
  • 1 loaf of hearty bread cut into cubes

Preperation:

1. Prepare the Fondue:

• Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the halved garlic cloves for extra flavor.
• Add the white wine and lemon juice to the pot and heat over low heat until it almost boils.

2. Add the Jersey Cheese:

• Gradually add the grated Jersey cheese to the warm wine, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted.
• If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix the cornstarch with a little water and add it to the cheese-wine mixture. Stir until the fondue becomes smooth and creamy.
• Season with black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Optionally, add the kirsch for extra flavor.

3. Prepare the Side Dishes:

• Cook the broccoli in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, keeping it crisp. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the carrots in the same water for 3-4 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
• Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and place them in a bowl.
• Wash the grapes and set them aside.
• Cut the bread into cubes (about 2-3 cm), perfect for dipping.

4. Serve the Fondue:

• Place the pot with the melted Jersey cheese on a fondue burner or small flame to keep it warm.
• Serve the side dishes on a large platter or in small bowls: the cooked broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, grapes, and bread.
• Use fondue forks to dip the bread, vegetables, and fruits into the melted cheese and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.

Enjoy!
