Steps:
- Soak porcini mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups hot water until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Squeeze mushrooms dry. Chop.
- Mix Emmenthal and Gruyère cheese and cornstarch in large bowl. Combine 1 cup reserved mushroom soaking liquid, white wine and garlic in fondue pot or heavy medium saucepan. Simmer 2 minutes. Discard garlic. Adjust heat so that liquid barely simmers. Add cheese 1 handful at a time and stir until each addition melts before adding next.
- After all cheese is added, mix until smooth. Mix in mushrooms and 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme. Season with generous amount of pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool. Press plastic onto surface of fondue and refrigerate. Cover and refrigerate remaining mushroom soaking liquid. Before continuing, rewarm fondue over low heat, stirring frequently and adding reserved mushroom soaking liquid as necessary if fondue is too thick.) If not using fondue pot, transfer mixture to flameproof 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Set over alcohol burner or gas table burner and serve, allowing diners to skewer bread with fork and dip into cheese fondue.
PORCINI SWISS FONDUE
Thiis comes from "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook". Anyone who came of age in the early 80′s and loved good food has either been to this charming Manhattan restaurant or own one of the many cookbooks authored by Sheila Lukins and Jule Rosso. Sunday mornings, it was standing room only (well, not really standing room) we were actually standing outside as the restaurant was very small and cozy. Ah, I love memories that are filled with good food, good friends and delightful conversation, such is "The Silver Palate:. This fondue combines the culinary flavors of three cheeses and white wine, how can you go wrong?
