Ingredients

200g smoked Oka cheese with rind, grated
270g smoked Gouda with rind, grated
250g smoked Cheddar, grated
4 tsp. cornstarch
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
Olive oil
1/4 cup fruity lager

Preparation

Place grated cheese and cornstarch in a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
In a non-stick pan heated over medium-low heat, add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add the yellow onion and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the onions start to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
Pour in beer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until reduced to a semi-dry consistency.
Add the grated cheeses to the pan. Melt over low heat, stirring, for 5-6 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, then stir until the fondue thickens slightly.
Serve this smoked cheese fondue with pieces of bread, crunchy vegetables and grapes!
