We've been busy lately with our gourmet box lunches for some of our large clients in Kansas City. We've been delivering fresh sandwiches, salads, chips, and cookies all over town. Some of our client favorites are the roasted chicken salad sandwich and the crunchy Asian chicken salad. I personally love our Turkey and Swiss because of the delicious multi-grain bread we serve it on. We go the extra mile on the quality of our ingredients and care we put into making the food. Clients love that we are easily accessible for ordering and that we can usually accommodate their needs at the last minute.
Spring has Sprung
This time of year is one of my favorites; the weather is finally getting better, wedding season is beginning, St. Patrick's Day is this month, and our KU Jayhawks are gearing up for March Madness. Oh, how my family loves St. Patrick's Day. My mother's side of the family is very Irish, and you'd think it was Christmas when March 17th rolls around. Celebrations abound with the parade, lots of home cooked food, and the green beer of course! Irish or not, it's a holiday to be enjoyed by all. Here's a great appetizer to serve at your green party. Enjoy!
Irish Cheddar and Stout Fondue
Bon Appétit March 2006
Bon Appétit Test Kitchen
Ingredients
2 cups 1- to 1 1/2-inch-diameter red-skinned potatoes, halved
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups very small brussels sprouts
2 apples, cored, cut into wedges
1 pound Irish cheddar cheese, grated
2 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 cup (or more) Irish stout (such as Guinness)
6 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Preparation
Steam all vegetables until tender, about 15 minutes. Arrange vegetables and apples around edge of large platter.
Meanwhile, toss cheese with flour in large bowl. Bring 3/4 cup stout, juice concentrate, and mustard to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and smooth, thinning with more stout, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer fondue to bowl. Place in center of platter with vegetables.
Market tip: Sharp white cheddar is a great substitute for the Irish cheddar (Dubliner's Irish Cheddar is available at Costco in Kansas City).
