GRILLED SHRIMP AND SCALLOP SKEWERS

Use 14 pound (125 g) of seafood per person. Marinate the seafood in olive oil, pinch of salt, and lemon zest.

Grill on preheated raclette using medium-high, 2–3 minutes per side for shrimp, 3–5 minutes per side for scallops.

Use 4-inch (10 cm) wooden skewers to remove and enjoy.

CROSTINI

T h e re are endless ways to top crostini, a delicious appetizer that can even become a small meal in itself.

The basic recipe for the crostini: preheat raclette to medium-high.

Brush bread slices with olive oil and then toast 2–3 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Enjoy with just a rub of a crushed garlic clove and sprinkle of salt. Or top with grilled vegetables, meats, cheeses, spreads, or assorted toppings.

Assemble raclette, griddle side up. Turn to medium-high and preheat for 10 minutes.

Toss eggplant slices in a mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons (25 ml) of olive oil, 14 teaspoon (1 ml) of salt, and a tablespoon (15 ml) of the basil. Place slices on griddle and cook about 6 minutes per side, until nicely b rowned. Remove and return to mixing bowl.

Toss pepper slices in a separate bowl with tablespoon (15 ml) of oil, 14 teaspoon (1 ml) of salt, and one garlic clove. Place on griddle and cook for about 5 minutes until peppers are tender and slightly browned. Remove and toss with cooked eggplant slices.

Brush bread slices with olive oil and place on griddle to cook for about

2 minutes per side. Once cooked, rub each slice with the remaining garlic clove. Place bread in raclette dish top with some of the eggplant and pepper mixture and then the cheese. Place under grill until cheese is melted – about 4 minutes. Serve drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle

of basil.
