Raclette party
The perfect winter dish
https://foodlavie.com/articles/le-guide-de-la-raclette-parfaite
Ingredients:
180–200g Raclette cheese, per person, sliced
Potatoes, boiled (about 3 to 4 per person)
Charcuterie (bacon, ham, salami,dry sausages…)
Vegetables (courgette, tomatoes, capsicums…)
Cornichons or pickled gherkins
Onions sliced
Cracked pepper
Preparation:
If necessary, cut the raclette cheese to fit the coupelles or small trays under the raclette grill.
Turn the raclette grill on to medium-high heat.
If you are using bacon, place the bacon rashers onto the grill plate and cook until your liking.
Add sliced onions (If you are not using bacon, simply brush the grill plate with some oil.)
Place some meat and vegetables on the hot grill plate.
While the meat and vegetables are cooking on the grill plate, place a slice of raclette cheese into the coupelles or small trays, and place them under the heating element.
The melted raclette cheese is usually served over the warm potatoes on your plate, which you should slice just before adding the cheese. But it is also common to place the melted cheese over the cooked vegetables. Some people even put slices of potatoes into the coupelles so that the cheese melts directly on top. Do as you please!
Please note: If you don’t have a Raclette set, you can melt the cheese with potatoes in the oven.
Bon Appétit !
