Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Low-fat Raclette cheese (or a low-fat melting cheese alternative)
- 800 grams Baby potatoes
- 12 pieces Cornichons (small pickles)
- 12 pieces Pickled pearl onions
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams Button mushrooms
- 150 grams Cooked lean turkey or chicken breast (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Scrub the baby potatoes clean under running water. Leave the skins on. Boil them in lightly salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside, keeping warm.
While the potatoes are cooking, clean and slice the button mushrooms. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Arrange the cornichons, pickled pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms, and sliced cooked lean turkey or chicken breast (if using) on a serving platter.
Slice the low-fat Raclette cheese into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, so it melts easily. Set aside on a separate plate.
Preheat your Raclette grill or a table-top grill. If you do not have a Raclette grill, preheat your oven broiler to medium-high heat and use oven-safe small dishes for melting the cheese.
Place the ingredients for grilling, such as the mushrooms and any other desired vegetables, on the hot grill. Let them cook until lightly browned and tender.
Place a slice of cheese onto the Raclette grill tray (or oven-safe dish) and heat until bubbly and melted.
To serve, scrape the melted cheese over a warm baby potato or grilled vegetables using a spatula or knife. Repeat as desired with remaining cheese and ingredients.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Low Fat Traditional Raclette warm with all the accompaniments!
