ROSĖ

NIBBLES WITH WARM CHEESE FONDUE

Serves 6

For the fondue

100ml white wine
3 teaspoons cornflour
500g Cheddar, grated
500g Gruyère, grated
100ml  crème fraîche
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

To serve

24 baby potatoes (about 400g) 
12 slices of pancetta, halved lengthways 
400g chorizo chunks
18 baby carrots
2 small bags of radishes
1 jar of cornichons and pickled onions drained
1 endive, leaves separated

Method

This was simply the most popular dish in the book when this photograph was taken. The cooked potatoes wrapped in pancetta work brilliantly hot or cold and dunked in the fondue - what could be nicer ? For vegetarians, just use good-quality potatoes and veg like fresh radishes, which taste amazing.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas 6.

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes until just soft. Drain and leave to cool.

Wrap each potato in a slice of pancetta, pop onto a roasting tray and roast for 15 minutes.

Pop the chorizo into a small roasting tray and roast for 15 minutes alongside the potatoes.

To make the fondue, whisk all the ingredients together in a non-stick pan, gently whisking continuously until warned through. Pour into a fondue dish and keep warm.

Serve with the carrots, radishes, chorizo, baby potatoes, cornichons and onions, and endive for dipping.
