| Raclette |
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds small potatoes
- 1 pound mild sausage such as Bockwurst or Weisswurst
- ½ pound dried meat such as prosciutto or salami
- ¾ pound raclette cheese, thinly sliced
- 6 ounces cornichons
- 6 ounces cocktail onions
- Optional: Dijon mustard
- Serve with a simple green salad and a baguette
Instructions
- If potatoes are not of an equal size, cut into equally sized pieces. Steam over high heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until easily split with a fork.
- Heat sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- While potatoes and sausage are cooking, arrange dried meat, cheese, cornichons and cocktail onions on a platter or in bowls for serving. Place mustard in a small bowl, if using.
- minutes (or so) prior to serving, heat the raclette maker on high. Adjust to medium before using. (Adjust timing accordingly based on the directions for your raclette maker.) Transfer potatoes and sausage to griddle.
- To melt the cheese, place one or two slices in a small tray and place back on the raclette maker. Cheese will melt in a few minutes. Using a spatula, scrape cheese onto the potatoes, sausage and/or dried meat on your plate and enjoy with a cornichon and cocktail onion (and mustard, if using).
- Repeat.
Notes
Notes:
* Ingredient amounts are suggestions – you may have leftovers.
* Here’s an example of a raclette maker – look for one in your favorite kitchen store or online.
* Cornichons are tart and resemble little gherkin pickles. You’ll likely find them in an olive bar or in a jar in the pickle section.
* Cocktail onions are small white onions, also found in a jar. Look for Cross and Blackwell Silver Skin Cocktail Onions, Sable and Rosenfeld’s Vermouth Tipsy Onions, or any onion you might put in a cocktail.
