Cheddar Fondue With Chiles and Cumin image

At his restaurant, Tabla, the chef Floyd Cardoz used Aleppo pepper in a number of dishes, often blended with cayenne and chiles from India and New Mexico. Its mild, rich heat was in the pan-roasted lobster glazed with Goan curry and in the tomato curry sauce served with a raviolo of spinach and sheep's milk ricotta. It even found a place in this warm Cheddar fondue with cumin.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fondue turned out grainy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a block of cheddar cheese in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

The fondue was a bit too spicy for me, but my friends loved it. I'll probably use less chiles next time.
