This ia an excellent Valentines Day Dinner for two or a special family dinner!

Fondue can be made in a traditional or electric fondue pot, or in a one quart dip warmer or crock pot. Make sure you have at least two forks or wooden skewers per person.


Broth Fondue

1 large can beef or chicken broth*
1/3 lb raw meat per person. cut into bite size pieces.
(This can be shrimp, stew beef or stir-fry pork or chicken)
Button Mushrooms
Cherry Tomatoes
Pearl Onions
Assorted sauces for dipping (Teriyaki, Dijon Mustard, A-1 for steak, salad dressings)

Pour contents of broth can into the fondue pot and start the Sterno fire under it. It will take about a half hour on the heat to get the broth to a boil for cooking. The broth can also be started in the microwave and put over the fire already hot.

place dishes with the assorted meats and veggies around the pot and the sauces near the plates. Each person selects the first piece to cook placing it on the fondue fork or thick wooden skewer and place it in the pot. Allow to cook to desired doneness. Cooking time varies depending on the meat or vegetable. Allow less time for shrimp and tomatoes, more time for beef or pork. Dip in the desired sauce and enjoy. Serve with a crusty french bread.

Caution - do not eat the food off the forks that were in the hot pot! To avoid burns, slide the food onto a plate and eat with a cooled fork.

*This recipe can easily be adjusted for a vegetarian meal by substituting vegetable broth and using chunked “Boca” products, tofu and additional vegetables.
