The Meal Plan: A Hearty Winter Fondue Feast

The Meal Plan: A Hearty Winter Fondue Feast
Food Republic•

Here's a meal you won't want in July: rich, melty (or hearty meaty) fondue. Whether you prefer dipping crisp baguette chunks in molten sharp wine-spiked cheese or deciding exactly how cooked you want your lamb, this traditional Swiss preparation won't let you down. Check out our time-tested recipes, plus tips for rounding out this most rib-sticking of spreads.

Make one of these fondues: 

  • Swiss Cheese Fondue
  • Dijon Rosemary Lamb Fondue
  • Classic Raclette

    • A salad:

  • Roasted Carrot, Hazelnut And Radicchio Salad
  • Endive Salad With Creamy Pine Nut Dressing
  • Radish And Citrus Salad With Candied Shallots

    • Some homemade pickles (or cornichons if you have them)

  • Pickled Beets
  • Pickled Red Onions
  • Pickled Okra

    • And lay out plenty of baguette cubes, boiled potatoes, cured meats and whole-grain mustard to complete your feast.

    For dessert: Classic Tarte Tatin

    And to drink: A nice wintry white wine like Gewürztraminer or Riesling (expert tip: drink it room temperature, not chilled. You don't want that melted cheese firming up in your stomach)
