Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams per person Raclette cheese
- 6 per person Small waxy potatoes
- 6 per person Cornichons (small pickled cucumbers)
- 6 per person Pickled pearl onions
- 100 grams per person Cured meats (e.g., prosciutto, salami)
- 1 loaf Fresh baguette or crusty bread
- 1 to taste Black pepper
- 200 grams Mixed vegetables (optional: mushrooms, peppers, zucchini)
Instructions
Start by preparing the potatoes: wash them thoroughly and boil them whole with their skins on in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and keep warm.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice the Raclette cheese into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Ensure they will fit on the trays provided with your Raclette grill or skillet.
Arrange the cured meats, cornichons, pickled onions, and optional mixed vegetables on a serving platter for easy access during the meal.
If using fresh vegetables, slice them thinly and lightly grill them on the Raclette grill or in a separate pan before serving.
Slice the baguette or crusty bread into bite-sized pieces and place in a basket or bowl.
Heat your Raclette grill or tabletop device according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have a Raclette grill, you can melt the cheese in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Guests can place their cheese slices onto the grill trays and melt them to their desired consistency. Once melted, scrape the cheese over the boiled potatoes, bread, or vegetables.
Top with fresh black pepper to taste, and enjoy the meal with the cured meats, pickles, and optional accompaniments.
