Instructions
Prepare the Broth or Oil
- If using oil as your fondue base, select one with a high smoke point, and measure out about 1 litre of oil. Heat it to 375F in a large pot on your stove. Pour the hot oil into the fondue dish right before serving and light the flame to keep the oil hot.
- If preparing a broth-based fondue, you can choose to make a stock/broth from scratch or purchase broth from the store. Fortify the broth in a larrge pot with fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary, peppercornss, garlic, and a splash of dry wine. Heat the broth on the stove and pour 1.5 litres of it into the fondue dish right before serving.
Prepare the Meat
- Purchase a tender cut of your favourite type of meat. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb or seafood are all great. Plan on preparing about half a pound (8 oz) of raw meat per guest. Cut the meat into bite-sized slices or cubes no thicker than 1 cm. Reserve the cut meat in small bowls for easy serving and refrigerate until you begin the fondue.
Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash and trim the chosen vegetables as required. Chop the vegetables into small bite-sized pieces. Place into individual little bowls, or display on a serving tray. Refrigerate the raw veggies until serving.
Prepare the Sauces
- Prepare any of the suggested sauces in the guide, and refrigerate until required. Serve in individual little dishes.
