Recipe Introduction


4 servings

Hands on: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes


List of Ingredients





2 cloves garlic, 1 halved, 1 minced
1 cup dry white wine
8 ounces each, shredded: plain Monterey Jack cheese, pepper Jack cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons each: tequila, chopped cilantro
1/8 teaspoon ancho or regular chili powder

For dipping:

Crusty French bread, cubed
Soft tortillas, lightly toasted
Assorted raw vegetables

Recipe



Rub the inside of a fondue pot or earthenware casserole with the halved garlic; discard or leave pieces in the pot for stronger garlic flavor. Pour the wine into the top of a double boiler over simmering water; heat wine to a simmer.

Add the cheese 1/4 cup at a time to the double boiler, stirring after each addition until all the cheese is melted; stir in cornstarch. Add tequila, cilantro and chili powder, stirring until blended.

Carefully pour cheese mixture into fondue pot. Place pot on the table; use bread, tortillas and vegetables for dipping into cheese.
