Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound rigatoni
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 3/4 cups warm whole milk, warmed
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1/2 cup (2 ounces) finely chopped Raclette
2 cups (8 ounces) grated Gruyere
2 cups (4 ounces) grated Emmentaler
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Boil pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
  • Return empty pot to medium heat and add butter. When butter melts and foams, add flour and whisk until darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard powder and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in milk and vermouth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cheese in 3 batches, starting with Raclette. Follow with Gruyere and Emmentaler. Whisk to fully combine after adding each cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta, stir to coat, and serve, sprinkled with parsley and more pepper.

TOMATO CHEESE FONDUE



Tomato Cheese Fondue image

This fondue is like no other fondue recipe I have seen, my mom made it since I was a kid and we love it. Only 4 easy ingredients, tomato juice, onion soup mix, lemon juice and sharp cheddar cheese and 2 steps.

Provided by Margie99

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Simmer the tomato juice, lemon and soup mix for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, melting between each handful.
  • When it is all melted you are done.
  • We always use bread but you could use veggies or meat.
  • It can be a bit salty so I think that is why bread works best.
  • Also if you use a brand name onion soup mix I think its less likely to be too salty.

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE



Classic Cheese Fondue image

This traditional Swiss fondue - the sort you might have encountered in an Alpine ski lodge circa 1972 - calls for an equal amount of Gruyère cheese, for its depth of flavor, and Emmenthaler, for its supple texture; a shot of kirsch, for its cherry aroma and alcoholic oomph; and a little garlic, for bite. It takes all of 15 minutes, and will emerge as magnificently creamy, smooth and velvety as custard, but with a funky, deep flavor that dazzlingly enriches anything you dunk in the pot: bread cubes, apple slices, clementine sections, nuggets of salami, pretzels, tofu. It is even marvelous spooned onto a romaine lettuce salad in place of dressing.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small garlic clove, halved
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound Gruyère cheese, grated

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 to 2 tablespoons kirsch (optional)
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste (optional)
Crusty bread cubes; steamed broccoli or cauliflower; carrot, celery or fennel sticks; cubed apple; seedless grapes; clementine sections; cubed salami, soppressata or kielbasa; roasted chestnuts and/or dried apricots, for serving.

Steps:

  • Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cheeses with cornstarch. Add a handful at a time to simmering wine, stirring until first handful melts before adding next. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Add kirsch, if using, and heat until bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and other accompaniments. (See variations below)

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE



Classic cheese fondue image

Get together with friends around the ultimate sharing dish - a classic cheese fondue. Enjoy with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, crudités and pickles

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g comte or gruyère, grated
200g emmental, grated
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp kirsch or schnapps
1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités and cornichons, to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
  • Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.
