Ingredients
  • 1 fondue À la Triplette de Tadoussac by 1001 Fondues, 350 g (12 oz.)
  • 2 bunches of asparagus
  • Olive oil
  • Finely grated juice and zest of a lemon
  • 80 mL (1/3 cup) slivered almonds, toasted
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper
Preparation
    1. Preheat BBQ on high.
    2. Break off fibrous ends of asparagus by hand.
    3. Coat asparagus with a little oil and season with salt and pepper.
    4. Place asparagus on a BBQ baking sheet or a perforated BBQ plate. Grill the asparagus on the BBQ for 4 to 5 minutes until well marked and still slightly crisp. Keep warm.
    5. Prepare fondue according to package cooking instructions.
    6. Arrange the asparagus on a serving dish and drizzle with lemon juice.
    7. Top with cheese fondue, sprinkle with lemon zest, roasted almonds and chopped parsley.
    8. NOTE: Asparagus can also be cooked on a baking sheet, in the oven, at 190 °C (375 °F).

    As Francis Blanche once said, “The asparagus is the leek of the rich.” It’s also a delicacy and an appetizing source of vitamins not to be missed! So much so that even those who hate asparagus will admit it’s delicious!

À la Triplette de Tadoussac
À la Triplette de Tadoussac Tadoussac microbrewery

This fondue is made using cheeses crafted by Fromagerie de l’Isle and the Triplette Belgian-style triple beer from the Tadoussac microbrewery.

It offers beautifully balanced aromas: citrus, delicate pepper and hints of nuts and toast. It goes wonderfully with a wide range of dipper options, including both matching and contrasting flavours.
