Fondue is a great fall and winter meal. Warms you up right down to your toes! I love it after a walk in the woods on those chilly, fall days! I do mine in my little crock pot before I leave and then it is piping hot when I get back. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine |
4 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 lemon, juice of, only |
1 tablespoon parsley, minced (optional) |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a heavy 8-inch skillet or a 1 quart saucepan over low-heat. Add the feta and ricotta cheese, and pepper.
2. Cook, stirring constantly, and mashing the cheeses slightly, until they soften and begin to bubble - about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in lemon juice, and garnish with the parsley if desired.
4. Serve at once. As the fondue cools, it loses flavor. Or put into crock pot or fondue pot to keep it warm if you can't serve it right away.
5. Variations: Substitute fontina cheese for the feta cheese or you can substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta. Or do both!
