Raclette
Preparing the Raclette
Allow about 250 - 300 g of Raclette cheese per person. The cheese tastes delicious
if garnished with, e.g., onion rings, garlic slices, diced chillies or tomatoes, pineapple
or pear pieces.
These ingredients may be grilled with the cheese on the pan. Only add seasonings, however,
after you have prepared the Raclette. Many spices burn in the heat and develop a bit-
ter taste.
Serve with fresh jacket potatoes. Side dishes such as pickled gherkins, pearl onions,
olives, etc., are also ideal.
Paprika Raclette (serves 2)
1 red and 1 green chillies
50 g smoked bacon
400 g Raclette cheese in slices
Salt, freshly ground pepper
Preparing the Raclette paprika
Wash, core and cut the chillies into fine strips. Then cut the smoked bacon into fine strips and
prepare both on a platter.
First place the smoked bacon strips onto the pans and cook until brown, then add and
briefly cook the chilly strips. Lay a slice of Raclette cheese onto each pan and grill them.
Season with salt and pepper.
