Nurture your fondue craving at the Bier Mrkt on now until this Sunday.
It smells fantastic in here referring to fondue party with our good friend chef Mike Tupelo you’re the Executive Chef of beer market well-known staple you’re always serving up the fondue lives special menu until Sunday only where you could actually eat every course fondue style from top to bottom starters entrees desserts
You know fondues fantastic you know we’re talking winter vortex polar vortex always call this ridiculousness this is perfect this is fixes it for you have was just saying he recently you know did the fondue party thing and it is very comforting and it’s very social and everyone gets to dip and it brings
People together and it’s very warm and it’s fun food it’s fun and there’s a lot of history and there’s a lot of you know tongue-in-cheek things in here you know if something falls off in the fondue you got to buy a round for the table you
Know but what we’re here to talk about you know somebody I think said it ain’t easy being cheesy but really right now it actually is and I’m going to show you how to do this we’re doing a sweet and savory fondue we’re doing a sweet and savory we’re gonna start with a simple
Cheese and lager fondue I’ve just got some lager here you can use this is Stella nice it’s a it’s a Belgian but you can use any beer you like I mean this is totally up to you anything that you can melt you can put in here bring
It to a little simmer this is this is so simple so here we’ve got actually some emmenthal some oak Arak lat and some Gruyere so three all three cheese’s we’ve graded them up here and alls we’re gonna do so you have what is it like a
One full beer to what like three cups of cheese this is about yeah this is about one full beer and I’d say well this is a little bit more about four cups of cheese okay you need a lot I mean you can tailor it you know if you’re a
Lonely person but this is really meant to be shared now it’s very simple okay and and and all you’re doing is you’re just putting the cheese right into the beer and you’re stirring it so that it doesn’t get out gloopy right but the trick here is when you stir it you can’t
Whiskey you’re not like making a cake here why because what’s gonna happen is it’ll get grainy you’ll you know how cheese gets stringy if you over stir it it’ll actually start to break up the bonds of the cheese so your better understeering versus over census
So what we do is we put this cheese in here we let it go it’s just a nice little simmers you know a lot of people back in the seventies when when you know all kinds of crazy things were going on you do it right on the burner on the
Table if you just let it sit yeah you do it right in there you know there’s that one’s actually lit you can barely see it and you’ll see this is gonna start to come together nice and slow now in the meantime while this is going so that’s
All it is there’s no vegetable broth there’s no there’s a little lemon juice I like to put a little squeeze of lemon juice that actually does two things it helps keep the cheese from breaking up it gives a little bit of acidity which is important now why this is going here
It’s going you’re gonna work on the chocolate fondue yeah what would you dip the cheese you juice the bread we got potatoes breads apples pickled vegetables little pieces of dried sauce as your time khachaturian eat anything you want to dip do they also have to buy
Around well you know what that’s kind of football but I mean what happens in the privacy of your own home you know so you can see already we’re starting to is starting to thicken up already and we’re gonna go we don’t want to boil this we
Want to take this nice and simple now chocolate very simple this seems hard because you hear about chocolate seizing and hardening right if it gets too cold yeah or if you again chocolate melts at a very low temperature actually melts at body temperature so I’ve got equal parts
Of cream and chocolate so I’ve got some chocolate over there got a little brandy recipes on our website had a little bit more a little bit of brandy just today and you know people again want to have some little bit of fun and then we’re just adding the chocolate right – I’m
Gonna put a little I recommend is that these semi-sweet do you recommend darts you recommend milk you know it’s really up to you not baking chocolate how come it’s not sweet oh it’s yeah I mean you only make that mistake once got it but
Here you know we add that in and we just start to slowly stir and that’s gonna come together fondue is served or you can just go to the restaurant enjoy at the beer market calm for more for all of these recipes check out our website again offering this up
Only until Sunday and then they go back to the regular fondue options available but why not have a fondue party absolutely a lot of fun good to see you right now movie actually started to break more peteyrin up to this
