Raclette is a Savoyard cheese. Traditionally It
is heated and then scraped ("racler" in French) on to the hot potatoes
Ingredients (for
6 people)
1 raclette grill
1,5 kg raclette (200 to 250 g per person)
25 cl cream (optional)
2 kg potatoes (2 to3 potatoes per person)
6 slices smoked ham
6 slices white ham
12 slices pancetta
12 slices bacon
12 slices of Grison meat
1 jar of gherkins and small onions
Procedure
Put the meat on one or several plates. Cut the raclette cheese so
that the pieces are small enough to be put in the raclette trays.
If you
are using a traditional vertical grill, you should buy half a cheese. Every guest can scrape his cheese bits on his plate when he
wants to.
Boil the potatoes in water for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve the gherkins and small onions in vinegar in several dishes.
Preheat
the raclette grill (this device has trays. You have to remove them from
the grill, before you turn it on). When the grill is hot, you can put
it on the table.
