This German meat fondue (or fleischfondue)is cooked in hot broth instead of hot oil, which is delicious and lower in fat, which many people prefer.
Because broth boils at 212 F/100 C, the meat will take longer to cook, but that only enhances the party experience. Be sure to serve a green salad and some fresh bread or a baguette to shorten the wait.

Steps to Make It
Prepare the Broth

See AlsoPeanut Brittle RecipeAdd the leeks, carrots, celeriac, bay leaf, peppercorns, and broth.
Bring everything to a simmer and cook for at least 15 minutes.
When it is time to eat, strain the broth into a fondue pot and place it on the table over the heat source for your fondue.
Prepare the Meat and Vegetables
Gather the ingredients.
While the broth is simmering, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the ground meat with the egg and breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Form the meat mixture into bite-sized meatballs and place in the refrigerator until serving time.
Cut the co*cktail sausages into 1-inch lengths and place in a serving dish.
Clean and separate the cauliflower into bite-sized chunks.
Cut the zucchini into quarters, lengthwise, then into 1-inch pieces.
Place in separate serving dishes. Keep everything covered and cool until ready to eat.
Prepare Sauce 1
Gather the ingredients.
Chop about 1/4 cup chives into small rings and place in a bowl with the sour cream.
Add salt, pepper, paprika, and optional lemon juice to taste.
Prepare Sauce 2
Gather the ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix together schmand or crème fraîche, chopped parsley, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
Setting Up the Fondue
Place the fondue pot filled with broth on the warmer (rechaud) in the middle of the table. Each person should have their own fondue fork. Place the serving dishes with the food on the table and let everyone pass them and place some meat and vegetables on their plate.
Each person places 1 or 2 pieces of food on a fondue fork and dips it in the simmering broth. After 2 or more minutes, the tidbits are done. They are removed from the fork to the plate, and new tidbits are placed on the fondue fork. Serve with the 2 dipping sauces, as desired.
Tip
- Many different combinations are possible. Some people like to drink the broth after the food has finished cooking. One suggestion is to scramble two eggs and swirl them into the broth (like egg drop soup) and then serve it hot to the guests.
