Italian Cheese Fondue - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 8 ounces grated Fontina
- 8 ounces grated Gruyere
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
- 2 cups dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Bite-size pieces of focaccia, sliced salami, fresh fennel, Belgian endive, steamed broccoli florets and asparagus spears, for dipping
Instructions
- Toss the Fontina and Gruyere cheese with the cornstarch in a medium bowl to coat. Saute the pancetta in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate. Pour off any excess oil. Pour the wine into the same saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium. Whisk 1 handful of the cheese mixture into the wine until it is almost melted. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture in about 4 more batches. Continue whisking until the cheese is completely melted and the fondue bubbles, about 1 minute. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the pancetta. Season the fondue with pepper, to taste.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot. Sprinkle with the remaining pancetta and chives. Set the pot over a candle or a canned heat burner. Serve with focaccia and vegetables.
