Alders Pub Cheese With Potato Bread Chips Recipes

ALDER’S PUB CHEESE

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the wine, garlic, shallots, thyme, bay leaf and clove. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the wine has almost evaporated, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl (you should have about 1/3 cup); use a rubber spatula to press on the solids and extract additional liquid. Whisk in mustard and miso. Cool to room temperature. This can be made up to a week ahead; refrigerate if not using the same day. 3.Place a medium bowl in a freezer to chill. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine 1/3 cup of the wine mixture (save the rest or discard), milk, cream cheese and cheddar. Run until the mixture is fairly smooth; stop to scrape down the sides occasionally.4.Scrape the mixture into a medium-sized pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 150 degrees on an instant read thermometer and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into the chilled bowl and whisk to cool. Chill in the refrigerator until very cold, at least 4 hours (or up to 5 days).5.Serve pub cheese in a bowl or ramekins, or mounded on a plate, with the potato bread chips alongside.

HOMEMADE PUB CHEESE

Steps:

• To quickly remove any carbonation, pour the room temperature beer into a bowl, and whisk occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire, mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are mixed.
• Turn food processor to high and slowly pour in beer through the feed tube; blend until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer to reach your desired consistency.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped chives. Store in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 10 days.
