Fondue Dinner with Green Goddess and Island Sauces

 When most people think of fondue, especially at The Melting Pot, they think of gooey cheese or melted chocolate but I enjoy the entree fondue just as much as those popular choices. The fragrant aroma from the cooking broth along with the tasty meat selections make my mouth water just thinking about them!

So here’s how it works at The Melting Pot:
You choose a “Cooking Style” such as the traditional Court Bouillon (seasoned vegetable broth) or Coq Au Vin (Burgundy wine infused with mushrooms). See the recipe for the spicy citrus Voodoo Cooking Style below.
Next you choose the individual entree you would like or an entree combination, such as French Quarter or Pacific Rim. The entree is served with a unlimited bowl of veggies and an array of sauces. See below for the recipes for my favorite, Green Goddess sauce and zippy Island Sauce.

The Melting Pot has also recently introduced The Four Course Fondue Experience. With this selection, you get to try everything (who wouldn’t love this?!). Perfect for a foodie like me or a special occasion or even if it’s your first time trying fondue!
