La Raclette

Thanks Jessica, for the following entry! 

Here is the recipe of what we French call La Raclette.

For 6 people, you need :

- 2 pounds of cheese from Savoie or Switzerland

- 2 pounds of potatoes (it is better to cook them in boiling water with

the skin)

- cooked pork meats (sausage, salami, bacon, ham, smoked ham...)

With a special appliance (like on the picture), you can melt the cheese

(but you can also make it melt in the oven). Cut 5mm thick pieces of

cheese and let them melt in the appliance for a few minutes (as much as

you like it melted).

After peeling the potatoes and cutting them into pieces in your plate, you

can pour the melted chesse onto it.

Add some pieces of cooked pork meats and savour it all!

Just for a change, you can do it with seafood and add more vegetables

(lettuce, tomatoes, pickles...).

Bon Appétit!
