The Traditional Raclette

Ingredinets

 

8 small/medium potatoes

680g Raclette Cheese
Swiss air dried beef slices
1 jar pickled gherkin
1 jar pickled onions
Freshly ground pepper
Paprika

Method

Cook the potatoes with the skin on until they are soft. While the potatoes are cooking, remove the rind from the cheese, and slice into 1/16" thick slices. Arrange the slices of beef, gherkins, and onions on a platter. Turn on the raclette machine.

Once the potatoes are cooked drain from the water and keep them warm until you are ready for them.

Cut the potatoes, gherkins and onions into bite size pieces. Melt the cheese with the raclette cheese in the raclette machine, and once it has melted, about 2 minutes, scrap it over the ingredients you have pre cut. Season and enjoy

The options of ingredients and the combinations are really up to you and your preferences. Other ingredients that go well with raclette are

-Pork

-Tomatoes

-Mushrooms

-Ham

-Salami

The concept of cooking the raclette is the same, but let your imagination run wild with the ingredients you choose. This dish is a fun dish, in the sense that each person can create whatever they want; it’s also what I would call a social dish

You can get a raclette machine pretty easily, Amazon for instance stocks them http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=raclette+grill&sprefix=racle%2Caps%2C223  and they also have raclette recipe books.
