RACLETTE



Raclette image

Raclette is a traditional Swiss dish that dates back to the time when cowherds would pasture their animals high in the Alps and camp alongside them. There, they would cut open their wheels of cheese and warm them on a rock by the campfire, scraping the edge of the cheese as it melted over cooked potatoes, pickles and ham for the most rustic of meals. Raclette comes from the French verb racler, to scrape.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large wedge raclette (about 1 pound)
1 dozen cooked small new potatoes, unpeeled
Assorted pickled garnishes: cornichons, pickled onions, caper berries
1/2 pound sliced Black Forest ham
Sliced ripe tomatoes

Steps:

  • Have a knife ready and small plates to serve. Arrange potatoes, pickles, onions, caper berries, ham, and tomatoes on a serving platter. Place cheese on a clean stone or a heatproof board or tile as close to the fire as possible. As the top of the cheese melts, scrape off cheese onto potatoes and accompany with garnishes. It takes some time between servings for the cheese to continue to melt, so have some wine or kirsch handy to keep guests happy.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound (about 12) fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or as needed
10 ounces Raclette, or hard mountain cheeses like Emmenthaler or Gruyere, thinly sliced
freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, trimmed, and sliced diagonally in 1/8 inch strips
Cornichons, pickled onions or pickled cauliflower, optional.

Steps:

  • In a large pot combine 8 cups water, potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • If you have oven-proof plates, preheat a broiler. If you do not have oven-proof plates, preheat oven to 250 degrees. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Divide the warm potatoes, cut-side up, evenly among four plates, arranging them in a pinwheel pattern.
  • Arrange one quarter of the cheese slices in a single layer over each portion of potatoes, taking care to completely cover all potatoes. Broil or bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes in a broiler or 10 minutes in an oven.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with scallions sprinkled on top. Cornichons, pickled onions and pickled cauliflower are optional accompaniments. If desired, the dish may be served with a green salad.

Provided by Thanh | Eat, Little Bird

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

150-200g (5-7 oz) raclette cheese, per person, sliced into 8mm slices
new potatoes, boiled (about 4 to 6 per person)
rashers of bacon
beef fillet, sliced thickly
chipolata sausages, or other small pork sausages
courgette (zucchini), sliced thickly
red capscium (bell peppers), sliced thickly
cornichons or pickled gherkins
pickled baby corn
barbecue sauce and/or ketchup for the sausages and meat

Steps:

  • If necessary, cut the raclette cheese to fit the coupelles or small trays under the raclette grill.
  • Turn the raclette grill on to medium-high heat.
  • If you are using bacon, place the bacon rashers onto the grill plate and cook until your liking.
  • Use the bacon fat to cook the other ingredients.
  • If you are not using bacon, simply brush the grill plate with some oil.
  • Place some meat and vegetables on the hot grill plate.
  • While the meat and vegetables are cooking on the grill plate, place a slice of raclette cheese into the coupelles or small trays, and place them under the heating element.
  • The melted raclette cheese is usually served over the warm potatoes on your plate, which you should slice just before adding the cheese. But it is also common to place the melted cheese over the cooked vegetables. Some people even put slices of potatoes into the coupelles so that the cheese melts directly on top. Do as you please!
  • Be careful to not overcook the meat on the grill plate.

SWISS RACLETTE



Swiss Raclette image

An amazingly delicious meal cooked on a raclette, Originally used in the ski lodges after a day of skiing the raclette usually sits on the middle of the table for everyone to use. No! its not a fondue! this has loads of vegetables, and some meat which you cook in small dishes on top of the raclette, usually with some seasonings as well. Once cooked you put a layer of cheese over the top and slide it back under the raclette grill. Once the cheese has melted just serve over a couple of small cooked new potatoes, then you load up and start cooking again... a great social meal with a good glass of wine!
