Suggestions For Raclette Parties

When serving a raclette meal, there is usually a heavy base food like potatoes, bread or tortillas that are warmed on the grill top or stone while guests use their individual raclette dishes to warm their favorite cheeses and toppings in slots located under the grill top or stone. Raw meats can be cooked on the grill top, or if precooked, can be warmed on the stone or heated in the raclette dishes. When all of your ingredients are thoroughly heated, place your potato, bread or tortilla on a plate. Fill with meats, cheeses and toppings of your choice by scraping the ingredients from the raclette dishes using the spatulas provided.

The following are suggested ingredients. There is no limit to the combinations of

flavors you can create. Try different combinations and different ingredients until you fi nd your favorites. Season all meats to your liking. Try different cheeses, condi- ments, sauces, fresh herbs and spices for extra fl avor. Quantities will vary depending on party size.
