The Raclette is a very European way of eating. We were invited to a friends house one evening, and were greeted with a table full of food, and a giant hot plate in the middle. Grant and I looked at each other and then asked... so what happens?
Basically, it is an electrical hot plate, with 6-8 mini grills underneath, and comes with mini trays to put under the grills.
You set this up in the middle of the table, and arrange the food around, meat and fish is placed on the hot plate to cook, and potatoes, vegetables, with cheese placed on top, are put into the trays and placed under the grills! It's so much fun, and leaves room for lots of chat!
The ideal ingredients-
Hot Plate -
Good steak- sliced about an inch thick
Chicken- again, an inch thick
King Prawns
Scallops
Grill -
Bolied new potatoes - which people can take and slice themselves
Cooked carrots batons
Cooked asparagus
Cooked baby corns
Peppers
Cheese - pre sliced, and european, applewood is also scrummy
Condiments -
English Mustard
BBQ sauce
Sweet Thai Chilli sauce,
Apple sauce
Wholegrain Mustard
Tartare Sauce
Arrange everything on the table in bowls, and let your guest cook their own dinners!!!
