Josh Eggleton’s Chargrilled Vegetables with Cheese and Mushroom Fondue

The first dish that we think about when we think of Swiss food is fondue. That is what Josh Eggleton thought too when he did a trip to Zurich recently. Inspired by his trip there and the discoveries he made of the culinary scene,  he came up with this recipe as his take on fondue.

Here he is serving it with chargrilled seasonal vegetables as well as bread. I have to tell you that this is a brilliant idea. It added a healthy balance to the otherwise heavy cheese and bread fondue.

We cooked his recipe at a cooking class and one thing I have to highlight is how he cooked the courgettes, this is definitely my favourite way to cook courgettes now. Using just a dry pan, liberally sprinkle salt on the courgettes and places on the hot pan. Allow both sides to brown and char and serve. It was a revelation to all of us as the courgette had a delicious charred flavour and was so easy to make.

This is his recipe for the Ceps Mushroom and Cheese Fondue.

This is a fondue recipe that you can make without a fondue set. Just serve it in regular bowls. 
The twist to this recipe is that it is served with charred vegetables as well as bread. It can be a starter or a main course. Being an interactive dish, it's great fun for a dinner party.

Ingredients

Fondue

  • Mushroom and Cheese Fondue Recipe
  • 2 banana shallots
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 300 ml of pale ale
  • 30 g of dried ceps 2
  • g of unsalted butter20g plain flour
  • 10 g English mustard 1 tsp cep powder
  • 300 g of Gruyere Emmental or Appenzeller (or use three)
  • sea salt

Seasonal Vegetables

  • 1 handful of tenderstem broccoli woody stalks trimmed
  • 1 handful of large spring onions trimmed (or use calcots if available)
  • 1 handful of rainbow chard
  • 1 courgette cut into 1cm thick slices at an angle
  • rapeseed oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
  • 2. Place the shallots and garlic on a sheet of tin foil (In their skins) and wrap the foil round them to form a parcel. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until very soft.
  • 3. Bring the beer up to a simmer in a small pan, remove from heat and stir in the dried ceps. Cover and leave to infuse for 20 minutes.
  • 4. Strain the infused beer through a sieve into a measuring jug, add the cep powder and top up with cold water to give you 250ml in total. Set aside. Please note that the steeped ceps can be used in other dishes, so don't throw them away.
  • 5. On a gentle heat, melt the butter in a heavy-based pan. Stir in the flour and mustard powder and cook out until the roux smells like freshly-baked biscuits.
  • 6. Then, slowly and In stages, pour the cep-infused beer into the roux, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth.
  • 7. Peel the roasted shallots and garlic and finely chop. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over them and using the back of your knife, mash to a paste (the salt acts as an abrasive to help with this). Add to the pan
  • 8. Add the grated cheese in stages, stirring continuously until all is melted.

  • 9. Finally, season with the sea salt. Add more water or beer gradually if you want the sauce more runny and check the seasoning again. Leave the fondue on a very low heat before serving, making sure to stir regularly.
    Visit Zurich Cheese Fondue
  • 10. Blanch the tenderstem and spring onions for 1 minute in heavily salted boiling water then drain and chill quickly in iced water. 11. Use the sarne boiling water to blanch the chard for about 30 seconds, then drain and chi1l in iced water. Drain the vegetables in a colander and dry well with kitchen paper.

The tasting menu @riwazbucks by @chefatulkochhar is absolutely fab. 7 courses of dishes from different regions of India, with a light touch on slicing, bursting with flavours and do pretty to look at. 
Full review on the blog. 
Way exceeded our expectations for a restaurant in this commuter town. Lucky people of Beaconsfield. 
A really buzzy atmosphere in their restored 18th century Grade 2 listed pub. Exposed beams, elephant wallpaper, an understated,  modern and chic interior.

AD A celebration meal with luscious gunma #wagyubeef strips served with stir-fried glutinous rice or "Loh Mai Fan". The wagyu beef is A5, the highest quality and is cut into 8mm thickness that is usually used for yakiniku. Here, it is just seared on a very hot griddle and glazed with some eel sauce. 
The rice is not your typical fried rice but made with glutinous rice, shitake mushrooms, dried shrimps and wind-dried Chinese sausages. The combination of ingredients gives it a rich umami flavour.

Today is the 15th day of Chinese New Year, also known The lantern festival. It is the end of the new year celebrations and for observing the taboos. For Hokkien people, it is called Chap Goh Meh, more important than the 1st day of the new Year. 
It’s also important day for singles. Historically, this was the only day that unmarried girls were allowed out. The tradition is to throw mandarins into the sea to ensure that you marry well. And all the young men gather on the streets for their only chance to see their potential girlfriends.

✨The 12th day of Christmas. ✨  Today is the day of Ephiphany. In Italy, its Befana, the witch brings children sweets. In Spain, they exchange gifts. In France, the celebrate with a Galette de Rois.  In the Christian church this day was known as the 12th day of Christmas. The day Jesus was revealed to the 3 Magi, the 3 Wise Kings who came bearing gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.  I’ve not put up too many pics of London’s Xmas lights do here they are. Until next year.

I’m not one for getting up at sunrise but I saw this from my hotel window and ran down in my pyjamas to catch the light. It didn’t last long. It was so worth it.
