  • Ingredients

    When using the Evolution Mini, reduce the amount of ingredients by about one-third.

    MAPLE AND TOMATO BROTH

    • Three 900 ml chicken broth boxes
    • 1 jar (680 ml) strained tomatoes
    • 250 ml (1 cup) maple syrup
    • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) minced garlic
    • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
    • 2 onions, chopped
    • 1 bay leaf
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    SUGGESTED DIPPING INGREDIENTS

    • Boiled eggs, smoked ham cubes, bacon and cheddar cocktail sausages, halloumi cheese cubes
    • Asparagus, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and peppers of various colours, Parisienne potatoes

    SWEET CHIVE MAYO

    • 250 ml (1 cup) mayonnaise
    • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) yellow mustard
    • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) maple syrup
    • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) chopped fresh chives
     

    SUGGESTED SIDES

    Tater tots, bacon, baked beans, sliced bread and fresh fruit

  • Preparation

    • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Drain, then immediately cool under cold water. Peel the eggs and set aside.
    • Combine the mayo ingredients in a bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
    • In a large saucepan, combine the broth ingredients. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes over medium-high heat, until about one-third of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
    • If preferred, strain the broth through a sieve.
    • Pour the required amount of broth into the Fondussimo set. Set the rest of the broth aside.
    • Arrange the dipping ingredients, sides and dip on serving plates. Bon appétit!

    A few tips

    • Got some broth left after the meal? It will make an excellent braising liquid for ham or chicken.
    • Most kinds of baked beans will not pass through the perforations of the Fondussimo baskets, so you can soak them in the broth without risking losing them in the bowl!
    • Boiled eggs in a fondue? You bet! Just like in an Asian-inspired soup, you can heat up your halves or quarters of hard-boiled eggs right in your Fondussimo! Since they are already cooked, it will only take a few seconds.
    • Did someone say mimosas? Pour 4 ounces (about 100 ml) of sparkling wine into each flute, fill with orange juice, and you’re off to a festive boozy brunch!
