Method
Wild Mushroom Fries:
- Slice mushrooms rustically using the natural shape of the mushrooms to guide you.
- Mix everything together in the recipe to create a nice breadcrumb mix, do not season this as it will ruin your fryer oil.
- Crumb the mushrooms as you would arancini and store in a tray full of breadcrumbs to be used for service later.
- To order, fry a portion of the mushrooms until golden brown, season and serve alongside the fondue.
Smoked Cheese Fondue:
- Combine the grated cheeses with the cornflour.
- Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy casserole dish, add the wine and place over medium heat, bring to a simmer.
- Gradually add the cheese. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion. Once smooth and melted through, add the salt, nutmeg and porcini powder.
- Immediately serve the fondue or cool it down and re heat to order using a little chicken stock to loosen.
Watercress Pesto:
- Blend all ingredients together until desired texture is reached. Season to taste.
