Cheddar Fondue With Chiles and Cumin image

At his restaurant, Tabla, the chef Floyd Cardoz used Aleppo pepper in a number of dishes, often blended with cayenne and chiles from India and New Mexico. Its mild, rich heat was in the pan-roasted lobster glazed with Goan curry and in the tomato curry sauce served with a raviolo of spinach and sheep's milk ricotta. It even found a place in this warm Cheddar fondue with cumin.
