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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Arrange the cured meats, cornichons, pickled onions, and optional mixed vegetables on a serving platter for easy access during the meal.
Step 4
If using fresh vegetables, slice them thinly and lightly grill them on the Raclette grill or in a separate pan before serving.
Step 5
Slice the baguette or crusty bread into bite-sized pieces and place in a basket or bowl.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Top with fresh black pepper to taste, and enjoy the meal with the cured meats, pickles, and optional accompaniments.
