Fondue Friday!

I was raised in a catholic family however I am far from what is considered a good catholic. I have made many life decisions against the religions beliefs but I can sleep at night with them and I personally feel that is all that matters. I'm also way too open minded of a person which my Dad is well aware of. Growing up he only really asked one thing of us, to observe lent and no meat Friday. To this day I still try to do as he wishes. Then enters Keith who does not observe this nor does he eat fish. Now there's a brand new challenge on the table. My solution- Fondue!

For this meal I followed a Melting Pot copycat recipe however edited it to be gluten free as well as add a little but more flare to it.

You will need:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup gluten free flower (I still am a fan of Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 bottle/12oz gluten free beer (I used Omissions because it was what I had but next time I would use a Glutenberg Pale Ale for an extra kick.
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (I used a few more drops for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp Dry Mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 4 cups of cheese (We used Fontina, Sharp Cheddar and Gouda)
To make:
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour until smooth.
  • Whisk in your beer and bring to a boil until the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Mix in your Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard and pepper flakes. Adjust amount to your liking
  • Mix in your 4 cups of cheese by handfuls until smoothly melted.
  • Pour into your fondue container or appliance.
  • Enjoy with your favorite sides
Side note: Keith felt it needed a little extra kick, he'd eat everything spicy if I let him, so he added a few dashes of Sriracha.
