    Title: Edgar's Lemon-Thyme Pickled Asparagus w/Cheese Fondue
    Categories: Five, Vegetables, Cheese, Sauces
    Yield: 6 servings

    1 kg Asparagus; ends broken off
    3 Lemons; squeezed (about 12
    - TB fresh lemon juice)
    8 lg Cloves garlic; minced
    Several sprigs thyme
    Boiling water to cover
    4 tb Salt; added to water before
    - boiling

    MMMMM-----------------------CHEESE FONDUE----------------------------
    1/4 c Butter
    1/4 c Flour
    2 c Chicken stock
    1 c Grated cheese
    Lots of fresh ground
    - pepper
    2 ts Chinese Chile-Garlic Sauce

    Add salt to water, boil.

    Place lemons, thyme, minced garlic and juice into pot
    large enough to hold asparagus and water.

    Prepare space in the fridge or the freezer for the
    container of asparagus.

    Pour boiling water over all ingredients, weigh with a
    plate, if needed, to keep submerged.

    Cover, and place in fridge or freezer to cool.

    Remove from brining liquid when cold, pat dry, and serve
    immediately.

    Keep leftovers in a tightly sealed plastic container for
    up to a week.

    MAKE THE FONDUE: Make a roux with the butter and flour
    in a small saucepan; the mixture will form a ball.

    Add fresh grated pepper.

    Cook for a bit, stirring constantly under medium heat,
    to ensure flour is cooked.

    Add stock a little at a time, stirring until thickened
    to desired thickness.

    Add cheese, stir until melted.

    Add Chile-Garlic Sauce and more fresh ground pepper,
    if needed (season to taste).

    Serve immediately.

    Title: Classic Swiss Cheese Fondue
    Categories: Cheese, Vegetables, Wine, Booze
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 cl Garlic; halved
    1 lb Gruyere cheese; grated
    1/2 lb Emmentaler or other Swiss
    - cheese; grated
    1 c Dry white wine
    1 tb + 1 ts cornstarch
    1 ts Fresh lemon juice
    1 1/2 tb Kirsch
    Fresh ground pepper
    Fresh grated nutmeg

    Rub the inside of a cheese fondue pot or medium enameled
    cast-iron casserole with the garlic clove; discard the
    garlic. Combine the grated Gruyère and Emmentaler with
    the wine, cornstarch and lemon juice in the fondue pot
    and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
    until the cheeses begin to melt, about 5 minutes. Add
    the kirsch and a generous pinch each of pepper and
    nutmeg and cook, stirring gently, until creamy and
    smooth, about 10 minutes; don't overcook the fondue or
    it will get stringy. Serve at once.
