Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 poblano chiles
1 jalapeno chile
Canola oil, for oiling the chiles
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, heated
Pinch chile de arbol powder or cayenne pepper
3 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 ounces grated white Cheddar (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Tortilla chips, corn tortillas and radishes, for serving
2 large red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
6 whole black peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Rub the poblano and jalapeno chiles with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and roast, turning a few times, until golden brown and blistered all over, about 15 minutes for the jalapeno and 25 minutes for the poblanos. Remove to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds and dice or slice.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the flour and whisk until smooth and the raw flour taste has cooked out, about 2 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the hot milk, then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and the chile de arbol.
  • Reduce the heat to low and begin adding the cheese a handful at a time, whisking until smooth. Taste for seasoning and fold in some of the diced chiles. Pour into a fondue pot.
  • Mix the remaining diced chiles with the Pickled Red Onions and cilantro and top the queso with the mixture. Serve with tortilla chips, tortillas or radishes.
  • Saute the onions in 1 tablespoon oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat until soft.
  • Meanwhile, place the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, thyme sprigs and 1/4 cup oil in a noncorrosive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the onions to the hot liquid and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the onions to steep for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. (If steeping overnight, transfer to a bowl and cover.) When ready to serve, drain the liquid and top with chopped thyme.

1 link fresh Mexican chorizo, casing removed
1/2 yellow onion, minced
1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese

Toss the cheeses with the flour in a separate bowl.
  • Add the beer to the skillet, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Whisking constantly, add the cheese mixture a little bit at a time, whisking until smooth and well blended. Stir in the beans, chiles and chorizo mixture.
